Multifractal analysis for Markov interval maps with countably many branches

We study multifractal decompositions based on Birkhoff averages for sequences of functions belonging to certain classes of symbolically continuous functions. We do this for an expanding interval map with countably many branches, which we assume can be coded by a topologically mixing countable Markov shift. This generalises previous work on expanding maps with finitely many branches, and expanding maps with countably many branches where the coding is assumed to be the full shift. When the infimum of the derivative on each branch approaches infinity in the limit, we can directly generalise the results of the full countable shift case. However, when this does not hold, we show that there can be different behaviour, in particular in cases where the coding has finite topological entropy.
