Abstract

Consider the multivariate smoothing transform fixed-point equation: Z=∑i=1NAiZi in law, where N ≥ 0 is a random integer, (Ai)i ≥ 1 are d × d random nonnegative matrices, (Zi)i ≥ 1 is a sequence of independent R+d-valued random variables, independent of (N,A1,A2,…), each Zi having the same law as Z. For each fixed point, under suitable conditions, we describe its support, establish its absolute continuity, and prove the existence of its harmonic moments. The absolute continuity of Rd-valued fixed point in the not necessarily homogeneous case is also considered.
