Abstract

We prove two relative local variational principles of topological pressure functions P(T,F,U,y)P(T,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{U},y) andP(T,F,UY)P(T,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{U}|Y) for a given factor map π\pi, an open cover U\mathcal{U} and a subadditive sequence of real-valued continuous functions F\mathcal{F}. By proving the upper semi-continuity and affinity of the entropy maps h{}(T,UY)h_{\{\cdot\}}(T,\mathcal{U}\mid Y) and h{}+(T,UY)h^+_{\{\cdot\}}(T,\mathcal{U}\mid Y) on the space of all invariant Borel probability measures, we show that the relative local pressure P(T,{},UY)P(T,\mathcal{\{\cdot\}},\mathcal{U}|Y) for subadditive potentials determines the local measure-theoretic conditional entropies.
