Let d be a positive integer and μ a generalized Cantor measure satisfying $\mu ={\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j\mu \circ S_j^{-1}$, where $0<a_j<1$, ${\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j=1$, $S_j=\rho R+b_j$ with 0 < ρ < 1 and R an orthogonal transformation of ${ℝ}^d$. Then ⎧1 < p ≤ 2 ⇒ ⎨$su{p}_{r>0}{r}^{d(1/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}-1/p^{\text{'}})}({\int }_{J_x^r}{\left|\mu ̂\left(y\right)\right|}^{p^{\text{'}}}{dy)}^{1/p^{\text{'}}}\le D₁{\rho }^{-d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}$, $x\in {ℝ}^d$, ⎩ p = 2 ⇒ infr≥1 rd(1/α’-1/2) (∫J₀r|μ̂(y)|² dy)1/2 ≥ D₂ρd/α’$,$where $J_x^r={\prod }_{i=1}^d(x_i-r/2,x_i+r/2)$, α’ is defined by ${\rho }^{d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}={\left({\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j^p\right)}^{1/p}$ and the constants D₁ and D₂ depend only on d and p.

The notion of NST domain and the closely related notion of ball condition, both topological in nature and quite useful within the theory of function spaces, are compared with each other (and with the older concept of porosity) and also with other notions of interest, like those of d-set and of interior regular domain, which have a measure-theoretical nature. Also, after extending the idea of NST (not so terrible) to a larger class of sets, the property is studied in the context of anisotropic self-affine...

We prove that in Polish, abelian, non-locally-compact groups the family of Haar null sets of Christensen does not fulfil the countable chain condition, that is, there exists an uncountable family of pairwise disjoint universally measurable sets which are not Haar null. (Dougherty, answering an old question of Christensen, showed earlier that this was the case for some Polish, abelian, non-locally-compact groups.) Thus we obtain the following characterization of locally compact, abelian groups: Let...

In this note we show the characteristic function of every indecomposable set F in the plane is BVequivalent to the characteristic function a closed set See Formula in PDF See Formula in PDF . We show by example this is false in dimension three and above. As a corollary to this result we show that for everyϵ &gt; 0 a set of finite perimeter Scan be approximated by a closed subset See Formula in PDF See Formula in PDF with finitely many indecomposable components and with the property that See...

 Let $F_i=1,...,N$ be affine mappings of ${ℝ}^n$. It is well known that if there exists j ≤ 1 such that for every ${\sigma }_1,...,{\sigma }_j\in 1,...,N$ the composition (1) $F_{\sigma 1}\circ ...\circ F_{{\sigma }_j}$ is a contraction, then for any infinite sequence ${\sigma }_1,{\sigma }_2,...\in 1,...,N$ and any $z\in {ℝ}^n$, the sequence (2)$F_{\sigma 1}\circ ...\circ F_{{\sigma }_n}\left(z\right)$ is convergent and the limit is independent of z. We prove the following converse result: If (2) is convergent for any $z\in {ℝ}^n$ and any $\sigma ={\sigma }_1,{\sigma }_2,...$ belonging to some subshift Σ of N symbols (and the limit is independent of z), then there exists j ≥ 1 such that for every $\sigma ={\sigma }_1,{\sigma }_2,...\in \Sigma$ the composition (1) is a contraction. This result...

Let $S_i:{ℝ}^d\to {ℝ}^d$ for i = 1,..., N be contracting similarities, let $(p₁,...,p_N,p)$ be a probability vector and let ν be a probability measure on ${ℝ}^d$ with compact support. It is well known that there exists a unique inhomogeneous self-similar probability measure μ on ${ℝ}^d$ such that $\mu ={\sum }_{i=1}^N{p}_i\mu \circ S_i^{-1}+p\nu$. We give satisfactory estimates for the lower and upper bounds of the $L^q$ spectra of inhomogeneous self-similar measures. The case in which there are a countable number of contracting similarities and probabilities is considered. In particular, we...

The notion of a joint distribution in $\sigma$-finite measures of observables of a quantum logic defined on some system of $\sigma$-independent Boolean sub-$\sigma$-algebras of a Boolean $\sigma$-algebra is studied. In the present first part of the paper the author studies a joint distribution of compatible observables. It is shown that it may exists, although a joint obsevable of compatible observables need not exist.
