Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems (Q2706605)

The authors identify iterated function systems \(\Phi\) on a metric space \(X\) and regular Borel measures \(\mu\) such that the matrix subdivision process relative to a finite family \(\mathcal A\) converges. They give a characterization of the convergence of the subdivision process to a function in \(L_p(\Omega,\mu)\) in terms of the spectral properties of \(\mathcal A\). First, they give a description of subdivision schemes and the definition of convergence with observations on convergent subdivision schemes. Then, they define and discuss the concept of \(\mu\)-uniformity of a family of contractions for any \(\mu\)-measurable set. Finally, they prove that the subdivision scheme converges exponentially fast and its limit function enjoys Hölder regularity.
