Infinite Bernoulli convolutions generated by multigeometric series and their properties

The paper is devoted to infinite Bernoulli convolutions generated by positive multigeometric series and to probability distributions of random variables whose digits in an even integer base-$s$ expansion with two redundant digits form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. The main objects of the article are random variables: $ξ=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{ξ_n}{s^n}$, where $(ξ_n)$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables taking values $0, 1, 2, \dots, s-1, s, s+1$ with probabilities $p_0$, $p_1$, $p_2, \dots, p_{s-1}, p_s, p_{s+1}$ respectively $(3 0$ and $q_1=1-q_0>0$. We study conditions under which the above random variables have absolutely continuous or singular distributions as well as topological, metric, and fractal properties of their supports. The main focus is on the case where the spectrum is a Cantorval.

On the Lebesgue measure of one generalised set of subsums of geometric series

In the present paper, we study a set that can be treated as a generalised set of subsums for a geometric series. This object was discovered independently in various mathematical aspects. For instance, it is closely related to various systems of representation of real numbers. The main object of this paper was particularly studied by R. Kenyon, who brought up a question about the Lebesgue measure of the set and conjectured that it is positive. Further, Z. Nitecki confirmed the hypothesis by using nontrivial topological techniques. However, the aforementioned result is quite limited, as this particular case should satisfy a rigid condition of homogeneity. Despite the limited progress, the problem remained understudied in a general framework.
