Abstract
For subshifts of finite type, conformal repellers, and conformal horseshoes, we prove that the set of points where the pointwise dimensions, local entropies, Lyapunov exponents, and Birkhoff averages do not exist simultaneously, carries full topological entropy and full Hausdorff dimension. This follows from a much stronger statement formulated for a class of symbolic dynamical systems which includes subshifts with the specification property. Our proofs strongly rely on the multifractal analysis of dynamical systems and constitute a non-trivial mathematical application of this theory.
