Boundary Disintegration for Weighted Residual Energy Trees
Abstract
We study iterated weighted residual (WR) splittings generated by a positive operator and a finite family of contractions in . The associated residual update produces an -ary energy tree of residuals and dissipated pieces indexed by finite words. From this tree we construct intrinsic path measures on the path space by biasing transitions either by a fixed quadratic form (defining the measures ) or, in the trace-class setting, by (yielding a reference measure ). When , we show that dominates the family and identify as a canonical martingale limit of cylinder likelihood ratios. Along -almost every branch the residuals decrease to a terminal trace-class random variable , which we interpret as the WR boundary variable. We then disintegrate over , obtaining a boundary law and conditional path measures . Finally, we show that each admits a boundary representation as a mixture of with an explicit boundary density , thereby organizing the family of intrinsic WR path measures by a single trace-biased boundary disintegration.
