Topological entropy of Lorenz-like flows

Dynamical Systems 2014-12-04 v1

Abstract

We use entropy theory as a new tool for studying Lorenz-like classes of flows in any dimension. More precisely, we show that every Lorenz-like class is entropy expansive, and has positive entropy which varies continuously with vector fields. We deduce that every such class contains a transverse homoclinic orbit and, generically, is an attractor.
