Upper packing dimension of a measure and the limit distribution of products of i.i.d. Stochastic matrices (Q2655533)

The authors extend a result from the first author [Topics in products of random matrices. New Delhi: Narosa Publishing House. Mumbai: Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (2000; Zbl 0980.60013)] on the conditions for the limit distribution of convolution powers of a measure on independent identically distributed \(2\times2\) stochastic matrices to be continuous singular. The old result required the support of the original measure to be finite, and in the current paper this condition is relaxed to countably infinite.
