# Pressures for asymptotically sub-additive potentials under a mistake function

• This paper defines the pressure for asymptotically sub-additive potentials under a mistake function, including the measure-theoretical and the topological versions. Using the advanced techniques of ergodic theory and topological dynamics, we reveal a variational principle for the new defined topological pressure without any additional conditions on the potentials and the compact metric space.
