We investigate the box dimensions of inhomogeneous self-similar sets. Firstly, we extend some results of Olsen and Snigireva by computing the upper box dimensions assuming some mild separation conditions. Secondly, we investigate the more difficult problem of computing the lower box dimension. We give some non-trivial bounds and provide examples to show that lower box dimension behaves much more strangely than upper box dimension, Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension.

An invariance formula in the class of generalized p-variable quasiarithmetic means is provided. An effective form of the limit of the sequence of iterates of mean-type mappings of this type is given. An application to determining functions which are invariant with respect to generalized quasiarithmetic mean-type mappings is presented.

Let I be a real interval, J a subinterval of I, p ≥ 2 an integer number, and M1, ... , Mp : Ip → I the continuous means. We consider the problem of invariance of the graphs of functions ϕ : Jp−1 → I with respect to the mean-type mapping M = (M1, ... , Mp).Applying a result on the existence and uniqueness of an M -invariant mean [7], we prove that if the graph of a continuous function ϕ : Jp−1 → I ...

For the full shift (Σ₂,σ) on two symbols, we construct an invariant distributionally ϵ-scrambled set for all 0 < ϵ < diam Σ₂ in which each point is transitive, but not weakly almost periodic.

We work with a fixed N-tuple of quasi-arithmetic means $M₁,...,M_N$ generated by an N-tuple of continuous monotone functions $f₁,...,f_N:I\to ℝ$ (I an interval) satisfying certain regularity conditions. It is known [initially Gauss, later Gustin, Borwein, Toader, Lehmer, Schoenberg, Foster, Philips et al.] that the iterations of the mapping $I^N\ni b\mapsto (M₁\left(b\right),...,M_N\left(b\right))$ tend pointwise to a mapping having values on the diagonal of $I^N$. Each of [all equal] coordinates of the limit is a new mean, called the Gaussian product of the means $M₁,...,M_N$ taken on b. We effectively...
