Integrable solutions of inhomogeneous refinement type equations on intervals

Abstract: Given a probability measure $P$ on a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets of a set $\Omega$, an interval $I\subset\mathbb R$, $g\in L^1(I)$, and a function $\varphi\colon I\times\Omega\to I$ fulfilling some conditions we obtain results on the existence of solutions $f\in L^1(I)$ of the inhomogeneous refinement type equation $$ f(x)=\int_{\Omega}\big|\varphi'_x(x,\omega)\big|f(\varphi(x,\omega))dP(\omega)+g(x). $$
