We prove that for every continuous potential φ there exists a sequence of basic sets Ωn such that the topological pressure P (f |Ωn, φ) converges to the free energy Pµ(φ) = h(µ) + φdµ. We also prove that for a suitable class of potentials φ there exists a sequence of basic sets Ωn such that P (f |Ωn, φ) → P (φ).

For this we let P * (Φ) := sup µ {h(µ) + µ(Φ)} be a variational pressure defined over a suitable class of Borel measurable potentials and prove that, for regular nonuniformly hyperbolic systems, P * (Φ) = sup Ω P * (f |Ω, Φ), supremum taken over the family of f-invariant uniformly hyperbolic basic sets. We then apply this variational principle to the approximation of dynamical indicators by horseshoes, generalizing results of Katok and Mendoza in [16]. 1. Introduction This paper is concerned with approximation of dynamical indicators-entropies, pressures, Lyapunov exponents and dimension-like characteristics-by sequences of hyperbolic Cantor sets. This type of questions has been considered previously by several authors. In 1977 R. Bowen proposed to look for large invariant subsets in the non-wandering set Ω(f) of a diffeomorphism on which the dynamics of f are simple to describe and raised the following: Question: Let small ǫ > 0 be given. Does there exist a hyperbolic f-invariant subset Λ ǫ ⊆ Ω(f) such that f | Λ ǫ is conjugated to a subshift of finite type and h top (f | Λ ǫ) > h top (f) − ǫ? [6, Chapter 10]. L.-S. Young answered this question affirmatively in 1981, proving that Axiom A diffeomorphisms and flows, piecewise monotonic maps of the interval, the Poincaré map of the Lorenz attractor and certain Abraham-Smale examples are limits of subshifts of finite type in the above sense. See [33]. Later, in 1984, A. Katok laid the foundations to study these questions in his seminal paper [14] about relations between entropy, periodic orbits and Lyapunov exponents of systems with nonuniformly hyperbolic behavior. The following proposition, proved in [16], gives a taste of this type of results: let µ be an ergodic Borel probability with non zero Lyapunov exponents and h(µ) > 0, then there exists a sequence of horseshoes Ω n and ergodic measures µ n supported on Ω n such that µ n → µ weakly and h(µ n) → h(µ) (see). We refer the reader to [11], [12], [13], [18] [19], [30], [31] and [36] for some recent contributions to the subject.

We use a a nonadditive version of the topological pressure of a class of admissible, possibly noncontinuous potentials P * (Φ) to prove the following variational equation: P * (Φ) = sup Ω∈H P * (f |Ω, Φ) supremum taken over the set H of basic subsets in M. As a consequence we find a lower bound for the Cantor dimension of the stable and unstable Cantor sets of a non trivial conformal nonuniformly hyperbolic isolated sets.

We use this induction approach to prove that the existence of a Gibbs-Markov-Young structure is a necessary condition for f to preserve an absolutely continuous probability with all its Lyapunov exponents positive.

We use a a nonadditive version of the topological pressure of a class of admissible, possibly noncontinuous potentials $P^*(\Phi)$ to prove the following variational equation: $P^*(\Phi) = \sup_{\Omega \in {\mathcal H}}P^*(f|\Omega,\Phi)$ supremum taken over the set ${\mathcal H}$ of basic subsets in $M$. As a consequence we find a lower bound for the Cantor dimension of the stable and unstable Cantor sets of a non trivial conformal nonuniformly hyperbolic isolated sets.
