Products of random matrices and derivatives on p.c.f. fractals (Q2476488): Difference between revisions

For the last twenty years a theory of analysis on fractals has been developed, with the construction of Laplacians and Dirichlet forms as corner stones. There is both a probabilistic approach, where the Laplacian is constructed as an infinitesimal generator of a diffusion process, and an analytic approach where the Laplacian can be defined as a limit of difference operators. In Section 2, the authors present the results on products of random matrices that will be used subsequently. Also it is shown that on sufficiently small cells the influence of \(Hf\) dominates the term from the Green function \(H\) a.e.. Also, an analog of Fermat's theorem on stationary points is given and the relationship between the derivatives and the local derivatives defined at periodic points is discussed.
