Iterated function systems (i. f. ss) are introduced as a unified way of generating a broad class of fractals. These fractals are often attractors for i. f. ss and occur as the supports of probability measures associated with functional equations. The existence of certain ‘ p -balanced’ measures for i. f. ss is established, and these measures are uniquely characterized for hyperbolic i. f. ss. The Hausdorff—Besicovitch dimension for some attractors of hyperbolic i. f. ss is estimated with the aid of p -balanced measures. What appears to be the broadest framework for the exactly computable moment theory of p -balanced measures — that of linear i. f. ss and of probabilistic mixtures of iterated Riemann surfaces — is presented. This extensively generalizes earlier work on orthogonal polynomials on Julia sets. An example is given of fractal reconstruction with the use of linear i. f. ss and moment theory.
Abstract. Spectral theory and classical approximation theory are used to give a new proof of the exponential decay of the entries of the inverse of band matrices. The rate of decay oí A'1 can be bounded in terms of the (essential) spectrum of A A* for general A and in terms of the (essential) spectrum of A for positive definite A. In the positive definite case the bound can be attained. These results are used to establish the exponential decay for a class of generalized eigenvalue problems and to establish exponential decay for certain sparse but nonbanded matrices. We also establish decay rates for certain generalized inverses.1. Introduction. The exponential decay of the entries of inverse of band matrices has been of some use in establishing local rates of convergence of spline approximations [12], [11], [6] and in bounding the L^-norm of the orthogonal projection onto spline spaces [4] and [15]. Kershaw proved a result of this nature for tridiagonal matrices and Descloux's paper [7] contains such a result for Grammian matrices arising in finite element approximations although exponential decay is not explicitly mentioned. For general banded invertible matrices the first proof appeared in [6]. A later proof in [3], [5] gave explicit estimates for the rate of decay. In this paper we use spectral theory and a result of Chebyshev on the best approximation of (x -a)~l by polynomials to give a new proof. The bounds on the rate of decay obtained from this proof appear to be sharper than those previously known and are actually attained in some cases. In addition, the method of proof easily extends to certain generalized inverses and certain nonbanded matrices. We show that the rate of decay for A ~l given by our method depends on only the essential spectrum of AA* and is, thus, stable under banded compact perturbations. This fact is used to establish the exponential decay of the eigenvectors of certain generalized eigenvalue

Deterministic and randomized solutions are developed for the problem of equitably distributing m indivisible objects to n people (whose values may differ), without the use of outside judges or side-payments. Several general bounds for the minimal share are found; a practical method is given for determining an optimal lottery and the largest minimal share; and the case of repeated allocations is analyzed.
