AbstractWithout any additional conditions on subadditive potentials, this paper defines subadditive measure-theoretic pressure, and shows that the subadditive measure-theoretic pressure for ergodic measures can be described in terms of measure-theoretic entropy and a constant associated with the ergodic measure. Based on the definition of topological pressure on non-compact sets, we give another equivalent definition of subadditive measure-theoretic pressure, and obtain an inverse variational principle. This paper also studies the superadditive measure-theoretic pressure which has similar formalism to the subadditive measure-theoretic pressure. As an application of the main results, we prove that an average conformal repeller admits an ergodic measure of maximal Hausdorff dimension. Furthermore, for each ergodic measure supported on an average conformal repeller, we construct a set whose dimension is equal to the dimension of the measure.

AbstractWe give a new definition of topological pressure for arbitrary (non-compact, non-invariant) Borel subsets of metric spaces. This new quantity is defined via a suitable variational principle, leading to an alternative definition of an equilibrium state. We study the properties of this new quantity and compare it with existing notions of topological pressure. We are particularly interested in the situation when the ambient metric space is assumed to be compact. We motivate our definition by applying it to some interesting examples, including the level sets of the pointwise Lyapunov exponent for the Manneville–Pomeau family of maps.

Based on the theory of Carathéodory structure, this paper introduces the topological entropy of a flow on non-compact sets. Moreover, we introduce the definition of measure-theoretic entropy of a flow. It is shown that this entropy is equivalent to the one defined by Sun in [10]. The variational principle between topological entropy and measure-theoretic entropy of a flow is established. We also get the Brin-Katok's entropy formula for a flow.

Zhao and Cao (2008) showed the relative variational principle for subadditive potentials in random dynamical systems. Applying their result, we find the Hausdorff dimension of an n (≥3)-dimensional general Sierpiński carpet which has an irreducible sofic shift in symbolic representation and study an invariant ergodic measure of full Hausdorff dimension. These generalize the results of Kenyon and Peres (1996) on the Hausdorff dimension of an n-dimensional general Sierpiński carpet represented by a full shift.

Given a non-conformal repeller [Formula: see text] of a [Formula: see text] map [Formula: see text], we give a variational principle of a dimensional upper bound of the non-conformal repellers. If [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text] then we prove the joint continuity of topological pressure for sub-additive singular-valued potentials on maps and parameters.

How many fractals exist in nature or the virtual world? In this paper, we partially answer the second question using Mandelbrot’s fundamental definition of fractals and their quantities of the Hausdorff dimension and Lebesgue measure. We prove the existence of aleph-two of virtual fractals with a Hausdorff dimension of a bi-variate function of them and the given Lebesgue measure. The question remains unanswered for other fractal dimensions.

This is a survey on recent developments concerning a thermodynamic formalism for almost additive sequences of functions. While the nonadditive thermodynamic formalism applies to much more general sequences, at the present stage of the theory there are no general results concerning, for example, a variational principle for the topological pressure or the existence of equilibrium or Gibbs measures (at least without further restrictive assumptions). On the other hand, in the case of almost additive sequences, it is possible to establish a variational principle and to discuss the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium and Gibbs measures, among several other results. After presenting in a self-contained manner the foundations of the theory, the survey includes the description of three applications of the almost additive thermodynamic formalism: a multifractal analysis of Lyapunov exponents for a class of nonconformal repellers; a conditional variational principle for limits of almost additive sequences; and the study of dimension spectra that consider simultaneously limits into the future and into the past.

The topological pressure is defined for subadditive sequence of potentials in bundle random dynamical systems. A variational principle for the topological pressure is set up in a very weak condition. The result may have some applications in the study of multifractal analysis for random version of nonconformal dynamical systems.

Let $A,B$ be two diagonal endomorphisms of the $d$-dimensional torus with corresponding eigenvalues relatively prime. We show that for any $A$-invariant ergodic measure $\mu$, there exists a projection onto a torus ${\mathbb T}^r$ of dimension $r\ge\dim\mu$, that maps $\mu$-almost every $B$-orbit to a uniformly distributed sequence in ${\mathbb T}^r$. As a corollary we obtain that the Hausdorff dimension of any bi-invariant measure, as well as any closed bi-invariant set, is an integer.
