Abstract

In this paper, entropies, including measure-theoretic entropy and topological entropy, are considered for random Zk\mathbb{Z}^k-actions which are generated by random compositions of the generators of Zk\mathbb{Z}^k-actions. Applying Pesin's theory for commutative diffeomorphisms we obtain a measure-theoretic entropy formula of C2C^{2} random Zk\mathbb{Z}^k-actions via the Lyapunov spectra of the generators. Some formulas and bounds of topological entropy for certain random Zk\mathbb{Z}^k(or Z+k\mathbb{Z}_+^k )-actions generated by more general maps, such as Lipschitz maps, continuous maps on finite graphs and C1C^{1} expanding maps, are also obtained. Moreover, as an application, we give a formula of Friedland's entropy for certain C2C^{2} Zk\mathbb{Z}^k-actions.
