We identify the linear space spanned by the real-valued excessive functions of a Markov process with the set of those functions which are quasimartingales when we compose them with the process. Applications to semi-Dirichlet forms are…

In this paper we study ergodic theory of countable Markov shifts. These are dynamical systems defined over non-compact spaces. Our main result relates the escape of mass, the measure theoretic entropy, and the entropy at infinity of the…

We study the relative entropy density for generalized Gibbs measures. We first show its existence and obtain a familiar expression in terms of entropy and relative energy for a class of ``almost Gibbsian measures'' (almost sure continuity…

The notion of Gibbs Measure is used by many researchers of the communities of Mathematical Physics, Probability, Thermodynamic Formalism, Symbolic Dynamics, and others. A natural question is when these several different notions of Gibbs…

Symbolic dynamical theory plays an important role in the research of amenability with a countable group. Motivated by the deep results of Dougall and Sharp, we study the group extensions for topologically mixing random shifts of finite…

We give a new definition of topological pressure for arbitrary (non-compact, non-invariant) Borel subsets of metric spaces. This new quantity is defined via a suitable variational principle, leading to an alternative definition of an…

We discuss the physical meaning and significance of statistical forces on quasi-static probes in first order around detailed balance for driven media. Exploiting the quasi-static energetics and the structure of (McLennan) steady…

The nonlinear Markov processes are the measure-valued dynamical systems which preserve positivity. They can be represented as the law of large numbers limits of general Markov models of interacting particles. In physics, the kinetic…

We study ergodic properties of certain piecewise smooth two-dimensional systems by constructing countable Markov partitions. Using thermodynamic formalism we prove exponential decay of correleations.

Whereas classical invariance principles for ergodic Markov chains address the situation in which the time horizon of observations is much larger than the mixing time, the quality of approximation is questionable when this is not the case…

We study weighted transfer operators associated to a piecewise expanding map on a compact manifold, and a piecewise Holder weight, acting on Sobolev spaces. We bound the essential spectral radius in terms of a topological pressure for a…

We explore consequences of a hyperbolic metric induced by the composition property of the Harvda-Charvat/Dar\'{o}czy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis entropy. We address the special case of systems described by small deviations of the non-extensive…

We study the long-time behavior of an additive functional that takes into account the jumps of a symmetric Markov process. This process is assumed to be observed through a biased observation scheme that includes the survival to events of…

This paper introduces a theory of Thermodynamic Formalism for Iterated Function Systems with Measures (IFSm). We study the spectral properties of the Transfer and Markov operators associated to a IFSm. We introduce variational formulations…

We prove that a shift ergodic measure on a topologically mixing sub-shift is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift whenever it is quasi invariant under permutations of finite number of coordinates. We prove also that Gibbs measures on…

Consider a compact metric space $(M, d_M)$ and $X = M^{\mathbb{N}}$. We prove a Ruelle's Perron Frobenius Theorem for a class of compact subshifts with Markovian structure introduced in [Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. 45 (2014), pp. 53-72] which…

This work is devoted to the almost sure stabilization of adaptive control systems that involve an unknown Markov chain. The control system displays continuous dynamics represented by differential equations and discrete events given by a…

We introduce subshifts of quasi-finite type as a generalization of the well-known subshifts of finite type. This generalization is much less rigid and therefore contains the symbolic dynamics of many non-uniform systems, e.g., piecewise…
