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.

AbstractWe deal with contracting finite and countably infinite iterated function systems acting on Polish spaces, and we introduce conformal Graph Directed Markov Systems on Polish spaces. Sufficient conditions are provided for the closure of limit sets to be compact, connected, or locally connected. Conformal measures, topological pressure, and Bowen's formula (determining the Hausdorff dimension of limit sets in dynamical terms) are introduced and established. We show that, unlike the Euclidean case, the Hausdorff measure of the limit set of a finite iterated function system may vanish. Investigating this issue in greater detail, we introduce the concept of geometrically perfect measures and provide sufficient conditions for geometric perfectness. Geometrical perfectness guarantees the Hausdorff measure of the limit set to be positive. As a by–product of the mainstream of our investigations we prove a 4r–covering theorem for all metric spaces. It enables us to establish appropriate co–Frostman type theorems.

AbstractBurguet [A direct proof of the tail variational principle and its extension to maps. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.29 (2009), 357–369] presented a direct proof of the variational principle of tail entropy and extended Downarowicz’s results to a non-invertible case. This paper defines and discusses tail pressure, which is an extension of tail entropy for continuous transformations. This study reveals analogs of many known results of topological pressure. Specifically, a variational principle is provided and some applications of tail pressure, such as the investigation of invariant measures and equilibrium states, are also obtained.

A central role in the variational principle of the measure preserving transformations is played by the topological pressure. We introduce subadditive pre-image topological pressure and pre-image measure-theoretic entropy properly for the random bundle transformations on a class of measurable subsets. On the basis of these notions, we are able to complete the subadditive pre-image variational principle under relatively weak conditions for the bundle random dynamical systems.
