Description:
This volume provides a unified exposition of thermodynamic formalism and some of its main extensions, with an emphasis on the relation to the dimension theory and the multifractal analysis of dynamical systems. It also includes a discussion of the most substantial applications.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book gives a detailed account of the connection between two areas of dynamical systems, the thermodynamic formalism and dimension theory in dynamical systems. ... The book is probably best read by someone already familiar with the basics of ergodic theory, dynamical systems, and the Hausdorff dimension ... . the book gives the reader a good grounding in both thermodynamical formalism and applying the thermodynamic formalism to prove results in the dimension theory of dynamical systems."
