We show the existence of a bounded Borel measurable saturated compensation function for any factor map between subshifts. As an application, we find the Hausdorff dimension and measures of full Hausdorff dimension for a compact invariant set of an expanding non-conformal map on the torus given by an integer-valued diagonal matrix. These problems were studied in [23] for a compact invariant set whose symbolic representation is a shift of finite type under the condition of the existence of a saturated compensation function. By using the ergodic equilibrium states of a constant multiple of a Borel measurable compensation function, we extend the results to the general case where this condition might not hold, presenting a formula for the Hausdorff dimension for a compact invariant set whose symbolic representation is a subshift and studying invariant ergodic measures of full dimension. We study uniqueness and properties of such measures for a compact invariant set whose symbolic representation is a topologically mixing shift of finite type.
