Constrained ergodic optimization for asymptotically additive potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Using an asymptotically additive sequence of continuous functions as a restrictive condition, this paper studies the relations of several ergodic averages for asymptotically additive potentials. Basic properties of conditional maximum ergodic averages are studied. In particular, if the dynamical systems satisfy the specification property, the maximal growth rate of an asymptotically additive potential on the level set is equal to its conditional maximum ergodic averages and the maximal growth rates on the irregular set is its maximum ergodic averages. Finally, the applications for suspension flows are given in the end of the paper.


Let \(\Phi=\{\phi_n\}_{n\ge 1}\) be a sequence of asymptotically additive continuous functions. Let also \(\mathcal{F}= \{f_n\}_{n\ge 1}\) be a sequence of asymptotically additive potentials (AAP) and \(\mu\in M_T\) (the space of \(T\)-invariant Borel probability measures on a compact metric space \(X\)) a \(T\)-invariant measure such that \[\mathcal{F}_*(\mu)= \lim_{n\to\infty}\,\frac{1}{n} \int f_n d\mu.\] By using the sequence \(\Phi\) as a constrained condition, the aim of the author is to investigate the constrained ergodic optimization of an AAP \(\mathcal{F}\) with emphasis on the basic properties of constrained maximum ergodic averages. In particular, the author manages to prove that the maximal growth rate of an AAP \(\mathcal{F}\) on the level sets is equal to the constrained maximum ergodic average \(\mathcal{F}\). This is done by taking into account some specific topological features of the topological dynamical system \((X, T)\).
