Singularity for graph-directed conjugate equations indexed by a two-vertex digraph

Abstract

We study graph-directed conjugate functional equations on the unit interval indexed by the complete digraph with self-loops on two vertices. We focus on the singularity and regularity of the solutions for compatible systems of weak contractions. First, we show that both solutions are singular in the affine case unless the two systems coincide; second, we obtain a dichotomy between singularity and smoothness for a class of linear fractional systems; and finally, we give a sufficient condition for singularity in a non-linear setting.
