The category of metric spaces is a subcategory of quasi-metric spaces. In this paper the notion of entropy for the continuous maps of a quasi-metric space is extended via spanning and separated sets. Moreover, two metric spaces that are…

Higher-dimensional binary shifts of number-theoretic origin with positive topological entropy are considered. We are particularly interested in analysing their symmetries and extended symmetries. They form groups, known as the topological…

We introduce a new family of shift spaces --- the subordinate shifts. Using subordinate shifts we prove in an elementary way that for every nonnegative real number $t$ there is a shift space with entropy $t$.

We consider shift spaces in which elements of the alphabet may overlap nontransitively. We define a notion of entropy for such spaces, give several techniques for computing lower bounds for it, and show that it is equal to a limit of…

We study two problems related to flow equivalence of shift spaces. The first problem, the classification of $S$-gap shifts up to flow equivalence, is partially solved with the establishment of a new invariant for the sofic $S$-gap shifts…

Given a one-dimensional shift $X$, let $|F_X(n)|$ be the number of follower sets of words of length $n$ in $X$, and $|P_X(n)|$ be the number of predecessor sets of words of length $n$ in $X$. We call the sequence $\{|F_X(n)|\}_{n \in…

In this paper we study the polynomial entropy of homeomorphism on compact metric space. We construct a homeomorphism on a compact metric space with vanishing polynomial entropy that it is not equicontinuous. Also we give examples with…

Given a one-dimensional shift $X$, let $|F_X(\ell)|$ be the number of follower sets of words of length $\ell$ in $X$. We call the sequence $\{|F_X(\ell)|\}_{\ell \in \mathbb{N}}$ the follower set sequence of the shift $X$. Extender sets are…

We introduce the concept of topological expansive flow. We prove that this concept is invariant by topological conjugacy and reduces to expansivity in the compact case. We characterize tiopological expansive flows as rescaling expansive…

Entropy is a measure of heterogeneity widely used in applied sciences, often when data are collected over space. Recently, a number of approaches has been proposed to include spatial information in entropy. The aim of entropy is to…

High-order phenomena play crucial roles in many systems of interest, but their analysis is often highly nontrivial. There is a rich literature providing a number of alternative information-theoretic quantities capturing high-order…

The thermodynamic definition of entropy can be extended to nonequilibrium systems based on its relation to information. To apply this definition in practice requires access to the physical system's microstates, which may be prohibitively…

Shearer's inequality bounds the sum of joint entropies of random variables in terms of the total joint entropy. We give another lower bound for the same sum in terms of the individual entropies when the variables are functions of…

The concept of independence entropy for symbolic dynamical systems was introduced in [LMP13]. This notion of entropy measures the extent to which one can freely insert symbols in positions without violating the constraints defined by the…

We consider a class $\mathcal{F}$ of Markov multi-maps on the unit interval. Any multi-map gives rise to a space of trajectories, which is a closed, shift-invariant subset of $[0,1]^{\mathbb{Z}_+}$. For a multi-map in $\mathcal{F}$, we show…

Entropy and differential entropy are important quantities in information theory. A tractable extension to singular random variables-which are neither discrete nor continuous-has not been available so far. Here, we present such an extension…

In this paper, we extend the concept of generalized entropy to uniform spaces, allowing computations beyond metrizable settings. We apply this to parabolic dynamics - systems with a unique fixed point uniformly attracting all compact…

This paper is a sequel to Chaika and Krishnan [arXiv:1612.00434]. We again consider translation invariant measures on families of nearest-neighbor semi-infinite walks on the integer lattice Z^d. We assume that once walks meet, they…

We prove that the entropy map for countable Markov shifts of finite entropy is upper semi-continuous at ergodic measures. Note that the phase space is non-compact. Applications to systems that can be coded by these shifts, such as positive…

The notion of entropy appears in many fields and this paper is a survey about entropies in several branches of Mathematics. We are mainly concerned with the topological and the algebraic entropy in the context of continuous endomorphisms of…
