Ergodic Optimization in the Expanding Case Concepts, Tools and Appli

This book focuses on the interpretation of ergodic optimal problems as questions of variational dynamics, employing a comparable approach to that of the Aubry-Mather theory for Lagrangian systems. Ergodic optimization is primarily concerned with the study

Preface

These notes grew out of a graduate course on ergodic optimization given by the author at the University of Campinas. Obviously, some background in ergodic theory is required to follow the text. The requisites are relatively light: a reader should be familiar with the basic concepts of ergodic theory, as contained in, for example, the first half of Walters’ book [101]. Moreover, these notes are by no means meant to be exhaustive. As a matter
