We introduce the ``local dependence measure'' (LDM) and its Legendre-type transform to analyze the left tail behavior of the distribution of $X$. We discuss the relationship of LDM with earlier results on the stochastic fixed point equation and we apply LDM to prove a theorem on a Fleming-Viot-type process.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/stochastic-fixed-point-equation-and-local-dependence-measure/}, journal = {The Annals of Applied Probability}, }
