On the strong separation condition for self-similar iterated function systems with random translations

Abstract: Given a self-similar iterated function system $\Phi={ \phi_i(x)=\rho_i O_i x+t_i }_{i=1}^m$ acting on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we can generate a parameterised family of iterated function systems by replacing each $t_i$ with a random vector in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In this paper we study whether a Lebesgue typical member of this family will satisfy the strong separation condition. Our main results show that if the similarity dimension of $\Phi$ is sufficiently small, then a Lebesgue typical member of this family will satisfy the strong separation condition.
