Abstract
We show that any non-trivial self-similar subset of the real line that is invariant under a lattice iterated function system (IFS) satisfying the open set condition (OSC) is not Minkowski measurable. So far, this has only been known for special classes of such sets. Thus, we provide the last puzzle-piece in proving that under the OSC a non-trivial self-similar subset of the real line is Minkowski measurable if and only if it is invariant under a non-lattice IFS, a 25-year-old conjecture.
