Abstract

Given a compact metric space XX and a continuous map T:XXT: X \to X, the induced hyperspace map TKT_\mathcal{K} acts on the hyperspace K(X)\mathcal{K}(X) of nonempty closed sets of XX, and the measure-induced map TT_* acts on the space of probability measures M(X)\mathcal{M}(X). It is proven that a large class of zero-entropy dynamical systems exhibits infinite metric mean dimension in its induced hyperspace map TKT_\mathcal{K}. This work also builds on the concept of generalized entropy, which is fundamental for studying the complexity of zero-entropy systems. Lower bounds of the generalized entropy of the measure-induced map TT_* are established, assuming that the base system TT has zero topological entropy. Moreover, upper bounds of the generalized entropy are explicitly computed for the measure-induced map of the Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on the circle. Finally, it is shown that the generalized entropy of TT_* is a lower bound for the generalized entropy of TKT_\mathcal{K}.
