Abstract

Pfister and Sullivan proved that if a topological dynamical system (X,T)(X,T) satisfies almost product property and uniform separation property, then for each nonempty compact %convex subset KK of invariant measures, the entropy of saturated set GKG_{K} satisfies \begin{equation}\label{Bowen's topological entropy} h_{top}^{B}(T,G_{K})=\inf\{h(T,\mu):\mu\in K\}, \end{equation} where htopB(T,GK)h_{top}^{B}(T,G_{K}) is Bowen's topological entropy of TT on GKG_{K}, and h(T,μ)h(T,\mu) is the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of μ\mu. In this paper, we investigate topological complexity of GKG_{K} by replacing Bowen's topological entropy with upper capacity entropy and packing entropy and obtain the following formulas: \begin{equation*} h_{top}^{UC}(T,G_{K})=h_{top}(T,X)\ \mathrm{and}\ h_{top}^{P}(T,G_{K})=\sup\{h(T,\mu):\mu\in K\}, \end{equation*} where htopUC(T,GK)h_{top}^{UC}(T,G_{K}) is the upper capacity entropy of TT on GKG_{K} and htopP(T,GK)h_{top}^{P}(T,G_{K}) is the packing entropy of TT on GK.G_{K}. In the proof of these two formulas, uniform separation property is unnecessary.
