Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a $C^{1}$ self-map of a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ be an $f$-invariant ergodic Borel probability measure with a compact support $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$. We prove that if $f$ is Hölder mild on the intersection of the singularity set and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$, then the pointwise dimension of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ can be controlled by the Lyapunov exponents of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ with respect to $f$ and the entropy of $f$. Moreover, we establish the distinction of the Hausdorff dimension of the critical points sets of maps between the $C^{1,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ continuity and Hölder mildness conditions. Consequently, this shows that the Hölder mildness condition is much weaker than the $C^{1,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ continuity condition. As applications of our result, if we study the recurrence rate of $f$ instead of the pointwise dimension of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$, then we deduce that the analogous relation exists between recurrence rate, entropy and Lyapunov exponents.
