We consider the family 𝓜 of measures with values in a reflexive Banach space. In 𝓜 we introduce the notion of a Markov operator and using an extension of the Fortet-Mourier norm we show some criteria of the asymptotic stability. Asymptotically stable Markov operators can be used to construct coloured fractals.

We show that the existence of measurable envelopes of all subsets of ℝⁿ with respect to the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure (0 < d < n) is independent of ZFC. We also investigate the consistency of the existence of ${\mathscr{H}}^d$-measurable Sierpiński sets.

Let T be a geometrically finite rational map, p(T) its petal number and δ the Hausdorff dimension of its Julia set. We give a construction of the σ-finite and T-invariant measure equivalent to the δ-conformal measure. We prove that this measure is finite if and only if $\frac{p\left(T\right)+1}{p\left(T\right)}\delta >2$. Under this assumption and if T is parabolic, we prove that the only equilibrium states are convex combinations of the T-invariant probability and δ-masses at parabolic cycles.

Let $\mu \ge 2$ be a real number and let $ℳ\left(\mu \right)$ denote the set of real numbers approximable at order at least $\mu$ by rational numbers. More than eighty years ago, Jarník and, independently, Besicovitch established that the Hausdorff dimension of $ℳ\left(\mu \right)$ is equal to $2/\mu$. We investigate the size of the intersection of $ℳ\left(\mu \right)$ with Ahlfors regular compact subsets of the interval $[0,1]$. In particular, we propose a conjecture for the exact value of the dimension of $ℳ\left(\mu \right)$ intersected with the middle-third Cantor set and give several results...

The classical Steinhaus theorem on the Minkowski sum of the Cantor set is generalized to a large class of fractals determined by Hutchinson-type operators. Numerous examples illustrating the results obtained and an application to t-convex functions are presented.

Multifractal analysis is known as a useful tool in signal analysis. However, the methods are often used without methodological validation. In this study, we present multidimensional models in order to validate multifractal analysis methods.

Let M be a d × d real contracting matrix. We consider the self-affine iterated function system Mv-u, Mv+u, where u is a cyclic vector. Our main result is as follows: if $\left|detM\right|\ge 2^{-1/d}$, then the attractor $A_M$ has non-empty interior. We also consider the set ${}_M$ of points in $A_M$ which have a unique address. We show that unless M belongs to a very special (non-generic) class, the Hausdorff dimension of ${}_M$ is positive. For this special class the full description of ${}_M$ is given as well. This paper continues our work begun...

We consider the multifractal analysis for Birkhoff averages of continuous potentials on a class of non-conformal repellers corresponding to the self-affine limit sets studied by Lalley and Gatzouras. A conditional variational principle is given for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points for which the Birkhoff averages converge to a given value. This extends a result of Barral and Mensi to certain non-conformal maps with a measure dependent Lyapunov exponent.

A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p\left(𝕋\right)$, $p\in (1,+\infty )$, its Fourier series $\left(S_{n}f\left(x\right)\right)$ converges for almost every $x\in 𝕋$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O\left(n^{1/p}\right)$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $\beta$ such that $S_{n}f\left(x\right)=O\left(n^{\beta }\right)$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_{\beta }$, namely the sets of $x\in 𝕋$ with divergence index equal to $\beta$. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p\left(𝕋\right)$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to this definition....

The multifractal generalizations of Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension are investigated for an invariant subset A of a piecewise monotonic map on the interval. Formulae for the multifractal dimension of an ergodic invariant measure, the essential multifractal dimension of A, and the multifractal Hausdorff dimension of A are derived.
