Let $k\geq 2$ and $(X_{i}, \mathcal {T}_{i}), i=1,\ldots ,k$ , be $\mathbb {Z}^{d}$ -actions topological dynamical systems with $\mathcal {T}_i:=\{T_i^{\textbf {g}}:X_i{\rightarrow } X_i\}_{\textbf {g}\in \mathbb {Z}^{d}}$ , where $d\in \mathbb {N}$ and $f\in C(X_{1})$ . Assume that for each $1\leq i\leq k-1$ , $(X_{i+1}, \mathcal {T}_{i+1})$ is a factor of $(X_{i}, \mathcal {T}_{i})$ . In this paper, we introduce the weighted topological pressure $P^{\textbf {a}}(\mathcal {T}_{1},f)$ and weighted measure-theoretic entropy $h_{\mu }^{\textbf {a}}(\mathcal {T}_{1})$ for $\mathbb {Z}^{d}$ -actions, and establish a weighted variational principle as $$ \begin{align*} P^{\textbf{a}}(\mathcal{T}_{1},f)=\sup\bigg\{h_{\mu}^{\textbf{a}}(\mathcal{T}_{1})+\int_{X_{1}}f\,d\mu:\mu\in\mathcal{M}(X_{1}, \mathcal{T}_{1})\bigg\}. \end{align*} $$ This result not only generalizes some well-known variational principles about topological pressure for compact or non-compact sets, but also improves the variational principle for weighted topological pressure in [16] from $\mathbb {Z}_{+}$ -action topological dynamical systems to $\mathbb {Z}^{d}$ -actions topological dynamical systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
