A fixed point theorem for moment matrices of self-similar measures

摘要

We consider the self-similar measure on the complex plane C associated to an iterated function system (IFS) with probabilities. From this IFS we define an operator in a complete metric space of infinite matrices. Using the expression obtained in a previous work of the authors, we prove that this operator has as fixed point the moment matrix of the self-similar measure. As a consequence, we obtain a very efficient algorithm to compute the moment matrix of the self-similar measure. Finally, in order to estimate the rate of convergence of the algorithm, we find an upper bound of the norm of this contractive operator.
