Vector-valued Choquet-Deny theorem, renewal equation and self-similar measures
The Choquet-Deny theorem and Deny’s theorem are extended to the vector-valued case. They are applied to give a simple nonprobabilistic proof of the vector-valued renewal theorem, which is used to study the -dimension, the -density and the Fourier transformation of vector-valued self-similar measures. The results answer some questions raised by Strichartz.
