We consider primitive aperiodic substitutions of constant length q and prove that, in order to have a Lebesgue component in the spectrum of the associated dynamical system, it is necessary that one of the eigenvalues of the substitution matrix equals $\sqrt{q}$ in absolute value. The proof is based on results of M. Queffélec, combined with estimates of the local dimension of the spectral measure at zero.
We extend the results previously published on exact packing dimensions of random recursive constructions to include constructions satisfying commonly occurring conditions. We remove the restrictive assumption that the diameter reduction ratios between the offsping are either constant almost surely, or 0.
We study porosities in the Mandelbrot percolation process. We show that, almost surely at almost all points with respect to the natural measure, the mean porosities of the set and the natural measure exist and are equal to each other for all parameter values outside of a countable exceptional set. As a corollary, we obtain that, almost surely at almost all points, the lower porosities of the set and the natural measure are equal to zero, whereas the upper porosities obtain their maximum values.
We discuss the definition and measurability questions of random fractals and find under certain conditions a formula for upper and lower Minkowski dimensions. For the case of a random self-similar set we obtain the packing dimension.
