Abstract: Abstract Consider a finite sequence of linear contractions ${{S}_{j}}(x)\,=\,\rho x\,+{{d}_{j}}$ and probabilities $pj\,>\,0$ with $\Sigma \,{{p}_{j}}\,=\,1$ . We are interested in the self-similar measure $\mu \,=\,\Sigma \,{{p}_{j}}\,\mu \,{}^\circ \,s_{j}^{-1}$ , of finite type. In this… read more here.
