Spectral theory of regular sequences (Q2135731)

Regular sequences are a well-studied generalization to arbitrary (unbounded) alphabets of fixed points of constant-length substitutions (also called morphisms) defined over a finite alphabet, that is, of automatic sequences. They can be defined by the fact that the vector space generated by the \(k\)-kernel of the sequence is finite-dimensional. From the abstract: ``Using the harmonic analysis of measures associated with substitutions as motivation, we study the limiting asymptotics of regular sequences by constructing a systematic measure-theoretic framework surrounding them. The constructed measures are generalisations of mass distributions supported on attractors of iterated function systems.''
