A self-similar set is described as the unique (nonempty) compact subset remaining invariant under the action of a finite collection of similitudes on a complete metric space. Among this kind of fractals, those satisfying the so-called Moran's open set condition are especially appropriate to deal with applications of Fractal Geometry since their Hausdorff dimensions can be easily computed. However, such a separation property depends on an external open set whose properties are not fully known. In this paper, we construct a self-similar set in the real line lying under the open set condition which does not admit a connected feasible open set. This answers an open question posed by Zhou and Li in 2009.

Keywords: Attractor, open set condition, feasible open set, connectedness, open question.
