Furstenberg [Disjointness in ergodic theory, minimal sets, and a problem in Diophantine approximation. Math. Syst. Theory1 (1967), 1–49] calculated the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions of one-sided subshifts in terms of topological entropy. We generalize this to $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ -subshifts. Our generalization involves mean dimension theory. We calculate the metric mean dimension and the mean Hausdorff dimension of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ -subshifts with respect to a subaction of $\mathbb{Z}$ . The resulting formula is quite analogous to Furstenberg’s theorem. We also calculate the rate distortion dimension of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ -subshifts in terms of Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy.

We study dynamical (Artin–Mazur–Ruelle) zeta functions for piecewise invertible multi-dimensional maps. In particular, we direct our attention to non-hyperbolic systems admitting countable generating definite partitions which are not necessarily Markov but satisfy the finite range structure (FRS) condition. We define a version of Gibbs measure (weak Gibbs measure) and by using it we establish an analogy with thermodynamic formalism for specific cases, i.e. a characterization of the radius of convergence in terms of pressure. The FRS condition leads us to nice countable state symbolic dynamics and allows us to realize it as towers over Markov systems. The Markov approximation method then gives a product formula of zeta functions for certain weighted functions.

It is an open problem to determine for which maps $f$, any compact invariant set $K$ carries an ergodic invariant measure of the same Hausdorff dimension as $K$. If $f$ is conformal and expanding, then it is a known consequence of the thermodynamic formalism that such measures do exist. (We give a proof here under minimal smoothness assumptions.) If $f$ has the form $f(x_1,x_2)=(f_1(x_1),f_2(x_2))$, where $f_1$ and $f_2$ are conformal and expanding maps satisfying $\inf \vert Df_1\vert\geq\sup\vert Df_2\vert$, then for a large class of invariant sets $K$, we show that ergodic invariant measures of dimension arbitrarily close to the dimension of $K$ do exist. The proof is based on approximating $K$ by self-affine sets.

AbstractWe consider singular perturbation of a mixing subshift of finite type by means of thermodynamic formalism. In our formulation, the perturbed systems are described by a family of potentials {Φ(α,⋅)} with large parameter α on a fixed subshift of finite type, and the original (unperturbed) system is characterized as the system at infinity obtained by collapsing the perturbed system upon taking $\alpha \to \infty $. We apply our formulation to the collapse of cookie-cutter systems and dispersing open billiards.

AbstractA non-additive version of the thermodynamic formalism is developed. This allows us to obtain lower and upper bounds for the dimension of a broad class of Cantor-like sets. These are constructed with a decreasing sequence of closed sets that may satisfy no asymptotic behavior. Moreover, they can be coded by arbitrary symbolic dynamics, and the geometry of the construction may depend on all the symbolic past. Applications include estimates of dimension for hyperbolic sets of maps that need not be differentiable.

In this review, we apply the method of backward iteration to chaotic maps of the interval to illustrate how both the f(α) spectrum and its underlying statistical mechanics follow directly from the dynamics in statistical equilibrium. The sizes of intervals in the coarse-grained phase space are expressed directly in terms of finite-time average Liapunov exponents, representing the reverse of the information flow that is the underlying cause of deterministic chaos. The transfer matrix formulation follows directly from the method of backward iteration when addresses generated from symbolic dynamics are assigned to tree-branches. The inverse temperature is interpreted in terms of classes of initial data of the dynamical system. Finally, the usefulness of the thermodynamic formalism is illustrated by showing how the pore distribution of sandstone can be modeled by a certain two-scale Cantor set on an octal tree.

Let $\mathbf{M}=(M_{1},\ldots ,M_{k})$ be a tuple of real $d\times d$ matrices. Under certain irreducibility assumptions, we give checkable criteria for deciding whether $\mathbf{M}$ possesses the following property: there exist two constants $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\in \mathbb{R}$ and $C>0$ such that for any $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and any $i_{1},\ldots ,i_{n}\in \{1,\ldots ,k\}$, either $M_{i_{1}}\cdots M_{i_{n}}=\mathbf{0}$ or $C^{-1}e^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}n}\leq \Vert M_{i_{1}}\cdots M_{i_{n}}\Vert \leq Ce^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}n}$, where $\Vert \cdot \Vert$ is a matrix norm. The proof is based on symbolic dynamics and the thermodynamic formalism for matrix products. As applications, we are able to check the absolute continuity of a class of overlapping self-similar measures on $\mathbb{R}$, the absolute continuity of certain self-affine measures in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ and the dimensional regularity of a class of sofic affine-invariant sets in the plane.
