Abstract

In this paper, preimage pressure, which is based on the preimage structure of the system, is defined and studied for random transformations. We obtain analogs of many known results of preimage entropy and preimage pressure for deterministic cases in Cheng and Newhouse [Pre-image entropy. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.25 (2005), 1091–1113] and Zeng et al [Pre-image pressure and invariant measures. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.27 (2007), 1037–1052]. In particular, a variational principle is given and some applications of preimage pressure, such as the investigation of the invariant measures and the equilibrium states, are obtained.
