In this paper, we use thermodynamic formalism to study the dynamics of inner functions $F$ acting on the unit disk. If the Denjoy-Wolff point of $F$ is in the open unit disk, then without loss of generality, we can assume that $F(0) = 0$ so…

In Minkowski geometry the metric features are based on a compact convex body containing the origin in its interior. This body works as a unit ball with its boundary formed by the unit vectors. Using one-homogeneous extension we have a…
