Multifractal analysis of asymptotically additive sequences (Q2440375)

Let \({T:X\to X}\) be a continuous map on a compact metric space \(X\). A sequences of functions \({\varphi_n:X\to\mathbb{R}}\) is said to be ``asymptotically additive'' if for each \({\epsilon>0}\) there exists a continuous function~\({\varphi:X\to\mathbb{R}}\) satisfying \[ \limsup\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n}\sup_{x\in X}|\varphi_n(x)-\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\varphi(T^k(x))|\leq\epsilon. \] The authors study, for a saturated map~\(T\), the \(u\)-dimension [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353, No. 10, 3919--3944 (2001; Zbl 0981.37007)] of the level sets \[ E(a)=\{x\in X:\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\varphi_{n,i}}{\psi_{n,i}}=a_i, \;i=1, \dots,k\},\;a=(a_1, \dots, a_k)\in\mathbb{R}^k,\;k\in\mathbb{N}, \] where \({\{\varphi_{n,i}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}, \{\psi_{n,i}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}}\) are asymptotically additive sequences for each \({i=1, \dots, k},\) and \({\psi_{n,i}\geq n\sigma}\) for some \({\sigma>0}.\) The main theorem contains some conditional variational principle and its proof is based on arguments from \textit{L. Barreira} et al. [J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 81, No. 1, 67--91 (2002; Zbl 1025.37019)]. At the end of the paper, as an application the author is consider the average conformal repeller.
