Diophantine approximation by orbits of Markov maps

Abstract

In 1995, Hill and Velani introduced the shrinking targets theory. Given a dynamical system $([0,1],T)$, they investigated the Hausdorff dimension of sets of points whose orbits are close to some fixed point. In this paper, we study the sets of points well-approximated by orbits $\{T^n x\}_{n\geq 0}$, where $T$ is an expanding Markov map with a finite partition supported by $[0,1]$. The dimensions of these sets are described using the multifractal properties of invariant Gibbs measures.Comment: 24 pages, 3 figures; To appear in ETDS, 201
