Random recursive constructions: asymptotic geometric and topological properties 论文

摘要

We study some notions of "random recursive constructions" in Euclidean <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="m"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">m</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> -space which lead almost surely to a particular type of topological object; e.g., Cantor set, Sierpiński curve or Menger curve. We demonstrate that associated with each such construction is a "universal" number <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="alpha"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi> α </mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\alpha</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> such that almost surely the random object has Hausdorff dimension <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="alpha"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi> α </mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\alpha</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> . This number is the expected value of the sum of some ratios which in the deterministic case yields Moran’s formula.
