Abstract: The estimation of characteristic values in many problems in Dynamical Systems and related fields (such as Lyapunov exponents, metric entropy, dimension of attractors, etc.). We will describe approachs based on ergodic theory and (more specifically) thermodynamic formalism and transfer operators.  The first lecture will concentrate on dimension. The second lecture will focus on Lyanunov exponents.
