We introduce variants of relative entropy of entanglement based on the optimal distinguishability from unentangled states by means of restricted measurements. In this way, we are able to prove that the standard regularized entropy of…

Different notions of entropy play a fundamental role in the classical theory of dynamical systems. Unlike many other concepts used to analyze autonomous dynamics, both measure-theoretic and topological entropy can be extended quite…

Transfer entropy is used to establish a measure of causal relationships between two variables. Symbolic transfer entropy, as an estimation method for transfer entropy, is widely applied due to its robustness against non-stationarity. This…

We introduce a method for quantifying the inherent unpredictability of a continuous-valued time series via an extension of the differential Shannon entropy rate. Our extension, the specific entropy rate, quantifies the amount of predictive…

We introduce the notion of localized topological pressure for continuous maps on compact metric spaces. The localized pressure of a continuous potential $\varphi$ is computed by considering only those $(n,\epsilon)$-separated sets whose…

The topological entropy of a continuous self-map of a compact metric space can be defined in several distinct ways; when the space is not assumed compact, these definitions can lead to distinct invariants. The original, purely topological…

We study the baker's map and its Walsh quantization, as a toy model of a quantized chaotic system. We focus on localization properties of eigenstates, in the semiclassical regime. Simple counterexamples show that quantum unique ergodicity…

In this article, we introduce a notion of relative mean metric dimension with potential for a factor map $\pi: (X,d, T)\to (Y, S)$ between two topological dynamical systems. To link it with ergodic theory, we establish four variational…

Physical quantities obtained from the microcanonical entropy surfaces of classical spin systems show typical features of phase transitions already in finite systems. It is demonstrated that the singular behaviour of the microcanonically…

In this paper, we introduce topological entropy for dynamical systems generated by a single local homeomorphism (Deaconu-Renault systems). More precisely, we generalize Adler, Konheim, and McAndrew's definition of entropy via covers and…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the variational principle, which states that the topological entropy is equal to the supremum of the measure theoretical entropies and also the minimum of the metric theoretical entropies, to…
