Non-conformal repellers and the continuity of pressure for matrix cocycles (Q484086)

This paper addresses some fundamental problems in fractal geometry and dynamical systems. Starting with an iterated function system (IFS) \({\mathbf A}=\{A_1,\ldots, A_k\}\), a finite set of linear mappings, the pressure function \(P({\mathbf A},s)\) is fundamental in determining the dimension of self-affine sets. The authors show that \(P({\mathbf A},s)\) depends on \({\mathbf A}\) in a continuous way, and therefore the dimension of the resulting self-affine sets is also continuously dependent on the IFS. The authors extend also the approach to more general sub-additive pressure functions and show the corresponding continuity result for the Lyapunov spectrum. It seems to the reviewer that this is the first clear proof for such a continuity result. Hence this paper shall be a basic reference.
