Abstract

This introductory chapter gives an overview of the dimension theory and the multifractal analysis of dynamical systems, with emphasis on hyperbolic flows. Many of the results presented here are proved later on in the book. We also discuss topics that are not yet sufficiently well developed to include in the remaining chapters of a monograph of this nature. Finally, we include a discussion of open problems and suggestions for further developments.
