Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $[0,1]$ which is invariant and ergodic for $T_a\left(x\right)=ax\mathrm{𝚖𝚘𝚍}1$, and $0<\mathrm{𝚍𝚒𝚖}\mu <1$. Let $f$ be a local diffeomorphism on some open set. We show that if $E\subseteq ℝ$ and $\left(f\mu \right){\left|{}_E\sim \mu \right|}_E$, then $f^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\in \left\{\pm a^r:r\in \mathbb{Q}\right\}$ at $\mu$-a.e. point $x\in f^{-1}E$. In particular, if $g$ is a piecewise-analytic map preserving $\mu$ then there is an open $g$-invariant set $U$ containing supp $\mu$ such that $g\left|{}_U\right.$ is piecewise-linear with slopes which are rational powers of $a$. In a similar vein, for $\mu$ as above, if $b$ is another integer and $a,b$ are not powers of a common integer, and if $\nu$ is a $T_b$-invariant...

We show that the theory of graph directed Markov systems can be used to study exceptional minimal sets of some foliated manifolds. A C¹ smooth embedding of a contracting or parabolic Markov system into the holonomy pseudogroup of a codimension one foliation allows us to describe in detail the h-dimensional Hausdorff and packing measures of the intersection of a complete transversal with exceptional minimal sets.

We extend the notions of Hausdorff and packing dimension introducing weights in their definition. These dimensions are computed for ergodic invariant probability measures of two-dimensional Lorenz transformations, which are transformations of the type occuring as first return maps to a certain cross section for the Lorenz differential equation. We give a formula of the dimensions of such measures in terms of entropy and Lyapunov exponents. This is done for two choices of the weights using the recurrence...

This is a survey on transformation of fractal type sets and measures under orthogonal projections and more general mappings.

We consider the stochastic differential equation (1) $du\left(t\right)=a(u\left(t\right),\xi \left(t\right))dt+{\int }_{\Theta }\sigma {(u\left(t\right),\theta )}_p(dt,d\theta )$ for t ≥ 0 with the initial condition u(0) = x₀. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of an invariant measure for the semigroup ${P^t}_{t\ge 0}$ corresponding to (1). We show that the existence of an invariant measure for a Markov operator P corresponding to the change of measures from jump to jump implies the existence of an invariant measure for the semigroup ${P^t}_{t\ge 0}$ describing the evolution of measures along trajectories and vice versa.

We show that for some simple classical chaotic dynamical systems the set of Li-Yorke pairs has full Hausdorff dimension on invariant sets.

We consider the multifractal analysis for Birkhoff averages of continuous potentials on a class of non-conformal repellers corresponding to the self-affine limit sets studied by Lalley and Gatzouras. A conditional variational principle is given for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points for which the Birkhoff averages converge to a given value. This extends a result of Barral and Mensi to certain non-conformal maps with a measure dependent Lyapunov exponent.

The multifractal generalizations of Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension are investigated for an invariant subset A of a piecewise monotonic map on the interval. Formulae for the multifractal dimension of an ergodic invariant measure, the essential multifractal dimension of A, and the multifractal Hausdorff dimension of A are derived.

We study sets of non-typical points under the map $f_{\beta }\mapsto \beta x$ mod 1 for non-integer β and extend our results from [Fund. Math. 209 (2010)] in several directions. In particular, we prove that sets of points whose forward orbit avoid certain Cantor sets, and the set of points for which ergodic averages diverge, have large intersection properties. We observe that the technical condition β > 1.541 found in the above paper can be removed.

In the present paper, we advance considerably the current knowledge on the topic of bifurcations of heteroclinic cycles for smooth, meaning C ∞, parametrized families {g t ∣t∈ℝ} of surface diffeomorphisms. We assume that a quadratic tangency q is formed at t=0 between the stable and unstable lines of two periodic points, not belonging to the same orbit, of a (uniformly hyperbolic) horseshoe K (see an example at the Introduction) and that such lines cross each other with positive relative speed as...

We investigate the properties of the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of the iterated function system (IFS) {γx,λx,λx+1}. Since two maps have the same fixed point, there are very complicated overlaps, and it is not possible to directly apply known techniques. We give a formula for the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor for Lebesgue almost all parameters (γ,λ), γ < λ. This result only holds for almost all parameters: we find a dense set of parameters (γ,λ) for which the Hausdorff dimension...

We study non-invertible piecewise hyperbolic maps in the plane. The Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is calculated in terms of the Lyapunov exponents, provided that the map satisfies a transversality condition. Explicit examples of maps for which this condition holds are given.

Let K ⊆ ℝ be the unique attractor of an iterated function system. We consider the case where K is an interval and study those elements of K with a unique coding. We prove under mild conditions that the set of points with a unique coding can be identified with a subshift of finite type. As a consequence, we can show that the set of points with a unique coding is a graph-directed self-similar set in the sense of Mauldin and Williams (1988). The theory of Mauldin and Williams then provides a method...

We consider the packing spectra for the local dimension of Bernoulli measures supported on Bedford-McMullen carpets. We show that typically the packing dimension of the regular set is smaller than the packing dimension of the attractor. We also consider a specific class of measures for which we are able to calculate the packing spectrum exactly, and we show that the packing spectrum is discontinuous as a function on the space of Bernoulli measures.
