The maps $\\sigma_{i}$ transform the measures $\\mu $ on $X$ into new measures $\\mu_{i}$. If the diameter of $ \\sigma_{i_{1}}\\circ >... \\circ \\sigma_{i_{k}}(X)$ tends to zero as $ k\\to \\infty $, and if $p_{i}>0$ satisfies $\\sum_{i}p_{i}=1$, then it is known that there is a unique Borel probability measure $\\mu $ on $X$ such that $\\mu =\\sum_{i}p_{i} \\mu_{i} \\tag{*}$. In this paper, we consider the case when the $p_{i}$s are replaced with a certain system of sequilinear functionals. This allows us to study the variable coefficient case of (*), and moreover to understand the analog of (*) which is needed in the theory of wavelets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-03-01T19:55:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42A16", "42A65", "46L45" ], "keywords": [ "iterated function system", "unique borel probability measure", "compact metric space", "finite set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....12212J" } } }
