Self-Similar Measures in Quasi-Metric Spaces

  • Chapter
Recent Trends in Nonlinear Analysis

Part of the book series: Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications ((PNLDE,volume 40))

Summary

We prove the existence and uniqueness of invariant selfsimilar measures for given families of contractions in locally compact complete quasi-metric spaces. We also show that the invariant measure is an attractor in the space of measures, both for the weak topology as well as for a suitable metric on measures, defined in terms of Holder continuous functions. Our results apply to complete quasi-metric spaces of homogeneous type.
