Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the Pesin–Pitskel unstable pressure to study dynamical complexity of general subsets in partially hyperbolic systems. We establish some basic results in dimension theory for Pesin–Pitskel unstable pressure, including a pressure distribution principle, and a variational principle for any compact (not necessarily invariant) subset between its Pesin–Pitskel unstable pressure and unstable metric pressure of probability measures supported on this set.
