Let $S_i:{ℝ}^d\to {ℝ}^d$ for i = 1,..., N be contracting similarities, let $(p₁,...,p_N,p)$ be a probability vector and let ν be a probability measure on ${ℝ}^d$ with compact support. It is well known that there exists a unique inhomogeneous self-similar probability measure μ on ${ℝ}^d$ such that $\mu ={\sum }_{i=1}^N{p}_i\mu \circ S_i^{-1}+p\nu$. We give satisfactory estimates for the lower and upper bounds of the $L^q$ spectra of inhomogeneous self-similar measures. The case in which there are a countable number of contracting similarities and probabilities is considered. In particular, we...
