Abstract: The growth probabilities {Pα,i} and configuration weights Cα (for 2×2 cell and 3×3 cell) are obtained by using the renormalization-group method. The "partition function" Z(q,L), "Free energy" F(q,L),"energy" E(q,L),"specific heat" c(q,L) and hierarchical dimensions Dq are calculated. The evidence has been found for suggesting the existence of phase transition in the multifractal spectrum of the SPA model and position of critical point qc=0. In the words, the distribution of growth probability has no multifractal features.

Key words: fractal, renormalization-group, phase transition
