The multifractal analysis of Birkhoff averages and large deviations

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\sigma: \Sigma_A^+\to \Sigma_A^+\) be a topologically mixing one-sided subshift of finite type, and \(\varphi\in C(\Sigma_A^+,\mathbb{R})\) a continuous function. Denote by \(\overline{\varphi}\) the Birkhoff average along the orbit of the point \(x\), \(\overline{\varphi}(x)= \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \varphi(\sigma^k x)\) if the limit exists. For any ergodic measure \(\mu\), from Birkhoff ergodic theorem follows that for \(\mu\)-almost all \(x\), \(\overline{\varphi}(x)= \int_{\Sigma_A^+} \varphi d\mu\). However, Birkhoff ergodic theorem provides no structural information about the exceptional set of measure zero. In this paper the authors study this exceptional set for an important class of ergodic invariant measures using multifractal analysis. Applications to probability and number theory are provided.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0971.00062].
