We obtain an expression for the dimension of a mixing repeller of a non-conformal mapping analogous to the well-known Bowen-Ruelle formula for conformal repellers. The dimension is given in terms of a generalized pressure defined in the context of the thermodynamic formalism. In the course of the paper we develop a subadditive version of the thermodynamic formalism that is suited to our needs and also obtain a ‘bounded distortion’ principle applicable to the non-conformal situation.
