Abstract: We consider linear iterated function systems with a random multiplicative error on the real line. Our system is xmapstodi+lambdaiYxi=1m, where diinR and lambdai>0 are fixed and Y>0 is a random variable with an absolutely continuous distribution. The iterated maps are applied randomly according to a stationary ergodic process, with the sequence of i.i.d. errors y1,y2,..., distributed as Y, independent of everything else. Let h be the entropy of the process, and let chi=E[log(lambdaY)] be the Lyapunov exponent. Assuming that chi<0, we obtain a family of conditional measures uy on the line, parametrized by y=(y1,y2,...), the sequence of errors. Our main result is that if h>|chi|, then uy is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure for a.e. y. We also prove that if h<|chi|, then the measure uy is singular and has dimension h/|chi| for a.e. y. These results are applied to a randomly perturbed IFS suggested by Y. Sinai, and to a class of random sets considered by R. Arratia, motivated by probabilistic number theory.
