It has often been observed that the Multifractal Formalism and the Large Deviation Principles are intimately related. In fact, Multifractal Formalism was heuristically derived using the Large Deviations ideas. In numerous examples in which…
Most results in multifractal analysis are obtained using either a thermodynamic approach based on existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states or a saturation approach based on some version of the specification property. A general…
Multifractal analysis refers to the study of the local properties of measures and functions, and consists of two parts: the fine multifractal theory and the coarse multifractal theory. The fine and the coarse theory are linked by a web of…
We propose to study the multifractal behavior of weighted ergodic averages. Our study in this paper is concentrated on the symbolic dynamics. We introduce a thermodynamical formalism which leads to a multifractal spectrum. It is proved that…
We introduce a local multifractal formalism adapted to functions, measures or distributions which display multifractal characteristics that can change with time, or location. We develop this formalism in a general framework and we work out…
Multifractal analysis has become a powerful signal processing tool that characterizes signals or images via the fluctuations of their pointwise regularity, quantified theoretically by the so-called multifractal spectrum. The practical…
In this paper, we perform a multifractal analysis of Birkhoff averages for interval maps with finitely many branches and parabolic fixed points. Using the thermodynamic approach, we strengthen the results of Johansson et al. on the…
We study regularity properties of frequency measures arising from random substitutions, which are a generalisation of (deterministic) substitutions where the substituted image of each letter is chosen independently from a fixed finite set.…
We discuss a subtlety involved in the calculation of multifractal spectra when these are expressed as Legendre-Fenchel transforms of functions analogous to free energy functions. We show that the Legendre-Fenchel transform of a free energy…
Multifractal formalism is designed to describe the distribution at small scales of the elements of $\mathcal M^+_c(\R^d)$, the set of positive, finite and compactly supported Borel measures on $\R^d$. It is valid for such a measure $\mu$…
We achieve the multifractal analysis of a class of complex valued statistically self-similar continuous functions. For we use multifractal formalisms associated with pointwise oscillation exponents of all orders. Our study exhibits new…
We undertake a general study of multifractal phenomena for functions. We show that the existence of several kinds of multifractal functions can be easily deduced from an abstract statement, leading to new results. This general approach does…
We prove a complete realization theorem for multifractal entropy spectra of continuous potentials on a broad class of dynamical systems. More precisely, for every $H>0$ and every continuous concave function on a compact interval with…
Since years it has been vividly debated whether multifragmentation is a thermal or a dynamical process. Recently it has been claimed \cite{toek1,po} that new data allow to decide this question. The conclusion, drawn in these papers, are,…
We first use Nevanlinna theory to provide full thermodynamical formalism for a very general class of meromorphic functions of finite order. Finer stochastic properties of the Perron-Frobenius operator are given and finally we provide the…
For a positive measure set of nonuniformly expanding quadratic maps on the interval we effect a multifractal formalism, i.e., decompose the phase space into level sets of time averages of a given observable and consider the associated {\it…
In this paper we study the multiple ergodic averages $$ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n \varphi(x_k, x_{kq}, ..., x_{k q^{\ell-1}}), \qquad (x_n) \in \Sigma_m $$ on the symbolic space $\Sigma_m ={0, 1, ..., m-1}^{\mathbb{N}^*}$ where $m\ge 2,…
Multifractals are inhomogeneous measures (or functions) which are typically described by a full spectrum of real dimensions, as opposed to a single real dimension. Results from the study of fractal strings in the analysis of their geometry,…
This survey article concerns inducing schemes in the context of interval maps. We explain how the study of these induced systems allows for the fine description of, not only, the thermodynamic formalism for certain multimodal maps, but also…
The thermodynamic formalism, which was first developed for dynamical systems and then applied to discrete Markov processes, turns out to be well suited for continuous time Markov processes as well, provided the definitions are interpreted…
