Let
$k\geq 2$
and
$(X_{i}, \mathcal {T}_{i}), i=1,\ldots ,k$
, be
$\mathbb {Z}^{d}$
-actions topological dynamical systems with
$\mathcal {T}_i:=\{T_i^{\textbf {g}}:X_i{\rightarrow } X_i\}_{\textbf {g}\in \mathbb {Z}^{d}}$
, where
$d\in \mathbb {N}$
and
$f\in C(X_{1})$
. Assume that for each
$1\leq i\leq k-1$
,
$(X_{i+1}, \mathcal {T}_{i+1})$
is a factor of
$(X_{i}, \mathcal {T}_{i})$
. In this paper, we introduce the weighted topological pressure
$P^{\textbf {a}}(\mathcal {T}_{1},f)$
and weighted measure-theoretic entropy
$h_{\mu }^{\textbf {a}}(\mathcal {T}_{1})$
for
$\mathbb {Z}^{d}$
-actions, and establish a weighted variational principle as
$$ \begin{align*} P^{\textbf{a}}(\mathcal{T}_{1},f)=\sup\bigg\{h_{\mu}^{\textbf{a}}(\mathcal{T}_{1})+\int_{X_{1}}f\,d\mu:\mu\in\mathcal{M}(X_{1}, \mathcal{T}_{1})\bigg\}. \end{align*} $$
This result not only generalizes some well-known variational principles about topological pressure for compact or non-compact sets, but also improves the variational principle for weighted topological pressure in [16] from
$\mathbb {Z}_{+}$
-action topological dynamical systems to
$\mathbb {Z}^{d}$
-actions topological dynamical systems.
