In the first chapter; we consider the invariant measure mu generated by an integral self-affine IFS. We prove that any integral self-affine measure with a common contracting matrix can be expressed as a vector-valued self-affine measure with an IFS satisfying the open set condition (OSC). The same idea can also be applied to scaling functions of refinement equations, we extended a well known necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of L1-solutions of lattice refinement equations. We then apply this vector-valued form to study the integral self-affine sets, we obtain an algorithm for the Lebesgue measure of integral self-affine region and an algorithm for the Hausdorff dimension of a class of self-affine sets. The vector-value setup also provides an easy way to consider the L q-spectrum and the multifractal formulism for self-similar measures. As an application we can conclude the differentiability of the Lq spectrum (for q > 0) of any integral self-similar measure with a common contracting matrix. / In this thesis, we study the invariant measures and sets generated by iterated function systems (IFS). The systems have been extensively studied in the frame work of Hutchinson [Hut]. For the iteration, it is often assumed that the IFS satisfies the open set condition (OSC), a non-overlap condition in the iteration. One of the advantage of the OSC is that the point in K can be uniquely represented in a symbolic space except for a mu-zero set and many important results have been obtained. Our special interest in this thesis is to transform an invariant measure with overlaps to a vector-valued form with non overlaps. The advantage of this vector-valued form is that locally the measure can be expressed as a product of matrices. / The problem considered in the third chapter is on the choice of the invariant open set in the finite type condition (FTC). From definition, the FTC depends on the choice of the invariant open set. We show that, in one dimensional case, if the IFS satisfies the FTC for some invariant open interval then it satisfies the FTC with all invariant open sets. To our surprising, we find a counter-example to show that, in high dimensional case, the invariant open set can not be chosen arbitrarily even if the IFS satisfies the OSC and generates a tile. / The second chapter is devoted to the absolute continuity of self-affine (real-valued or vector-valued) measures and some properties of the boundary of the invariant set. For self-similar IFS with a common contracting ratio, there is a necessary and sufficient condition for the self-similar measure to be absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure (under the weak separation condition (WSC)). In our consideration we first extend the definition of WSC to self-affine IFS. Then we generalize the previous condition to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the self-affine vector-valued measures to be absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. As an application, we prove that the boundary of all integral self-affine set has zero Lebesgue measure. In addition, we prove that, for any IFS and any invariant open set V, the corresponding invariant (real-valued or vector-valued) measure is supported either in V or in ∂ V. / by Deng Qirong. / "March 2005." / Adviser: Ka-Sing Lau. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-01, Section: B, page: 0301. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 87-91). / Electronic reproduction.
