Contracting on average iterated function systems by metric change
We study contraction conditions for an iterated function system of continuous maps on a metric space which are chosen randomly, identically and independently. We investigate metric changes, preserving the topological structure of the space, which turn the IFS into one which is contracting on average. For the particular case of a system of $C^1$-diffeomorphisms of the circle which is proximal and does not have a probability measure simultaneously invariant by every map, we derive a strongly equivalent metric which contracts on average.
