A natural probability measure derived from Sterns diatomic sequence


Abstract in English

Sterns diatomic sequence with its intrinsic repetition and refinement structure between consecutive powers of $2$ gives rise to a rather natural probability measure on the unit interval. We construct this measure and show that it is purely singular continuous, with a strictly increasing, Holder continuous distribution function. Moreover, we relate this function with the solution of the dilation equation for Sterns diatomic sequence.
