Computability of the packing measure of totally disconnected self-similar sets

We present an algorithm to compute the exact value of the packing measure of self-similar sets satisfying the so called SSC and prove its convergence to the value of the packing measure. We also test the algorithm with examples that show both, the accuracy of the algorithm for the most regular cases and the possibility of using the additional information provided by it to obtain formulas for the packing measure of certain self-similar sets. For example, we are able to obtain a formula for the packing measure of any Sierpinski gasket with contractio factor in the interval $(0,1/3]$ (Theorem 2).
