On the one hand, we study the existence, the uniqueness of the fixed-points and the convergence of the corresponding iterative schemes. On the other hand, we study the geometric properties of the random measured real trees that are fixed-points, in particular their fractal properties. We obtain bounds on the Minkowski and Hausdorff dimension, that are proved tight in a number of applications, including the very classical continuum random tree, but also for the dual trees of random recursive triangulations of the disk introduced by Curien and Le Gall [Ann Probab, vol. 39, 2011]. The method happens to be especially powerful to treat cases where the natural mass measure on the real tree only provides weak estimates on the Hausdorff dimension.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-17T20:09:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-similar real trees", "geometric properties", "measured compact metric spaces", "fixed-point", "charging measured compact metric" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 47, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
