Fractal random variables defined by probability distributions of digits of their $G_2$-representation having two bases with different signs

In this paper, we study distributions of two random variables \begin{gather*} \tau = \tau_1 g_{1-\tau_1} + \sum_{k=2}^\infty \tau_k g_{1-\tau_k} \prod_{i=1}^{k-1} g_{\tau_i} \equiv \Delta^{G_2}_{\tau_1\tau_2...\tau_n...}, \xi = \xi_1 g_{1-\xi_1} + \sum_{k=2}^\infty \xi_k g_{1-\xi_k} \prod_{i=1}^{k-1} g_{\xi_i} \equiv \Delta^{G_2}_{\xi_1\xi_2...\xi_n...}, \end{gather*} where $g_0$ is a given number belonging to interval $[\frac{1}{2}; 1)$, $g_1\equiv g_0 - 1$, $(\tau_n)$ and $(\xi_n)$ are sequences of random variables taking the values $0$ and $1$, and $(\tau_n)$ is a sequence of random variables that form a Markov chain with positive initial probabilities $p_{0}$, $p_{1}$ and matrix of transition probabilities $ \begin{pmatrix} p_{00} & p_{01} p_{10} & p_{11} \end{pmatrix},$ $(\xi_n)$ is a sequence of independent random variables taking the specified values with probabilities $p_{0n}$ and $p_{1n}$, respectively ($p_{0n}+p_{1n}=1$). We study structural, spectral, and fractal properties of distributions of $\tau$ and $\xi$. For random variable $\tau$, point spectrum (the set of atoms) and continuous spectrum (minimal closed support) of its distribution are studied exhaustively. We prove a theorem on the Lebesgue purity of distribution of random variable $\xi$ (an analog of the Jessen--Wintner theorem), i.e., conditions for the distribution to belong to one of the types: pure discrete, pure absolutely continuous, and pure singular.

The Ostrogradsky series and related probability measures

We develop a metric and probabilistic theory for the Ostrogradsky representation of real numbers, i.e., the expansion of a real number $x$ in the following form: \begin{align*} x&= \sum_n\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{q_1q_2... q_n}= &=\sum_n\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{g_1(g_1+g_2)...(g_1+g_2+...+g_n)}\equiv \bO1(g_1,g_2,...,g_n,...), \end{align*} where $q_{n+1}>q_n\in\N$, $g_1=q_1$, $g_{k+1}=q_{k+1}-q_k$. We compare this representation with the corresponding one in terms of continued fractions. We establish basic metric relations (equalities and inequalities for ratios of the length of cylindrical sets). We also compute the Lebesgue measure of subsets belonging to some classes of closed nowhere dense sets defined by characteristic properties of the $\bO1$-representation. In particular, the conditions for the set $\Cset{V}$, consisting of real numbers whose $\bO1$-symbols take values from the set $V \subset N$, to be of zero resp. positive Lebesgue measure are found. For a random variable $ξ$ with independent $\bO1$-symbols $g_n(ξ)$ we prove the theorem establishing the purity of the distribution. In the case of singularity the conditions for such distributions to be of Cantor type are also found.
