Dimension approximation in smooth dynamical systems

Authors

Abstract: For a non-conformal repeller

L a m b d a

of a

C^{1 + a l p h a}

map

f

preserving an ergodic measure

m u

of positive entropy, this paper shows that the Lyapunov dimension of

m u

can be approximated gradually by the Carath'{e}odory singular dimension of a sequence of horseshoes. For a

C^{1 + a l p h a}

diffeomorphism

f

preserving a hyperbolic ergodic measure

m u

of positive entropy, if

(f, m u)

has only two Lyapunov exponents

l a m b d a_{u} (m u) > 0 > l a m b d a_{s} (m u)

, then the Hausdorff or lower box or upper box dimension of

m u

can be approximated by the corresponding dimension of the horseshoes

L a m b d a_{n}

. The same statement holds true if

f

is a

C^{1}

diffeomorphism with a dominated Oseledet's splitting with respect to

m u

.
