The Entropy of Cantor--like measures

Metric Geometry 2018-10-02 v1

Abstract

By a Cantor-like measure we mean the unique self-similar probability measure μ\mu satisfying μ=i=0m1piμSi1\mu =\sum_{i=0}^{m-1}p_{i}\mu \circ S_{i}^{-1} where % S_{i}(x)=\frac{x}{d}+\frac{i}{d}\cdot \frac{d-1}{m-1} for integers 2d<m2d12\leq d<m\le 2d-1 and probabilities pi>0p_{i}>0, pi=1\sum p_{i}=1. In the uniform case (pi=1/mp_{i}=1/m for all ii) we show how one can compute the entropy and Hausdorff dimension to arbitrary precision. In the non-uniform case we find bounds on the entropy.
