The entropy of Cantor-like measures

Publication date 21 November 2019

Abstract: By a Cantor-like measure we mean the unique self-similar probability measure

m u

satisfying

m u = s u m_{i = 0}^{m - 1} p_{i} m u c i r c S_{i}^{- 1}

where

% S_{i} (x) = f r a c x d + f r a c i d c d o t f r a c d - 1 m - 1

for integers

2 l e q d < m l e 2 d - 1

and probabilities

p_{i} > 0

,

s u m p_{i} = 1

. In the uniform case (

p_{i} = 1 / m

for all

i

) we show how one can compute the entropy and Hausdorff dimension to arbitrary precision. In the non-uniform case we find bounds on the entropy.
