Spectrum of weighted Birkhoff average

Abstract

Let $\{s_n\}_{n\in\N}$ be a decreasing nonsummable sequence of positive reals. In this paper, we investigate the weighted Birkhoff average $\frac{1}{S_n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}s_k\phi(T^kx)$ on aperiodic irreducible subshift of finite type $\Sigma_{\bf A}$ where $\phi: \Sigma_{\bf A}\mapsto \R$ is a continuous potential. Firstly, we show the entropy spectrum of the weighed Birkhoff averages remains the same as that of the Birkhoff averages. Then we calculate the packing spectrum of the weighed Birkhoff averages. It turns out that we can have two cases, either the packing dimension of every level set equals to its Hausdorff dimension or for every nonempty level set it is equal to the packing dimension of the whole space.
