The Mean Minkowski Content of Homogeneous Random Fractals

Abstract

Homogeneous random fractals form a probabilistic generalisation of self-similar sets with more dependencies than in random recursive constructions. Under the Uniform Strong Open Set Condition we show that the mean D-dimensional (average) Minkowski content is positive and finite, where the mean Minkowski dimension D is, in general, greater than its almost sure variant. Moreover, an integral representation extending that from the special deterministic case is derived.
