Consider a linear Cantor set K, which is the attractor of a linear iterated function system (i.f.s.) Sjx = pjx + bj, j = 1,... , m, on the line satisfying the open set condition (where the open set is an interval). It is known that K has Hausdorff dimension ca given by the equation FTL1 pa = 1, and that 7-t (K) is finite and positive, where 7H,x denotes Hausdorff measure of dimension a. We give an algorithm for computing 7-t (K) exactly as the maximum of a finite set of elementary functions of the parameters of the i.f.s. When pi = Pm (or more generally, if log p1 and log pm are commensurable), the algorithm also gives an interval I that maximizes the density d(I) = 7'Ha(K n I)/ II I. The Hausdorff measure 7-o,(K) is not a continuous function of the i.f.s. parameters. We also show that given the contraction parrameters pj, it is possible to choose the translation parameters bj in such a way that 7-H(K) = IKIa, so the maximum density is one. Most of the results presented here were discovered through computer experiments, but we give traditional mathematical proofs.
