In this paper we examine the topology of inverse limit spaces generated by maps of finite graphs. In particular we explore the way in which the structure of the orbits of the turning points affects the inverse limit. We show that if $f$ has…

Maximization of an expensive, unimodal function under random observations has been an important problem in hyperparameter tuning. It features expensive function evaluations (which means small budgets) and a high level of noise. We develop…

We construct a space which is useful in order to study the entropy of meromorphic maps by using projective limits. We deduce a variational principle for meromorphic maps.

This paper is devoted to problems stated by Z. Zhou and F. Li in 2009. They concern relations between almost periodic, weakly almost periodic, and quasi-weakly almost periodic points of a continuous map f and its topological entropy. The…

Let $\mathcal{P}_G$ be the family of all topologically mixing, but not exact self-maps of a topological graph $G$. It is proved that the infimum of topological entropies of maps from $\mathcal{P}_G$ is bounded from below by $(\log 3/…

In this paper we study interval maps $f$ with zero topological entropy that are crooked; i.e. whose inverse limit with $f$ as the single bonding map is the pseudo-arc. We show that there are uncountably many pairwise non-conjugate zero…

The structure of isentropes (i.e. level sets of constant topological entropy) including the monotonicity of entropy, has been studied for polynomial interval maps since the 1980s. We show that isentropes of multimodal polynomial families…

We consider a one parameter family of Lorenz maps indexed by their point of discontinuity $p$ and constructed from a pair of bilipschitz functions. We prove that their topological entropies vary continuously as a function of $p$ and discuss…

The notion of topological entropy can be conceptualized in terms of the number of forward trajectories that are distinguishable at resolution $\varepsilon$ within $T$ time units. It can then be formally defined as a limit of a limit…
