In this expository paper we describe an unifying approach for many known entropies in Mathematics. First we recall the notion of semigroup entropy h_S in the category S of normed semigroups and contractive homomorphisms, recalling also its…

In this paper, we introduce a new entropy-like invariant, named Hausdorff metric entropy, for finitely generated semigroups acting on compact metric spaces from a set-valued view and study its properties. We establish the relation between…

Entropy can signify different things: For instance, heat transfer in thermodynamics or a measure of information in data analysis. Many entropies have been introduced and it can be difficult to ascertain their different importance and…

We introduce the notion of intrinsic semilattice entropy $\widetilde h$ in the category $\mathcal L_{qm}$ of generalized quasimetric semilattices and contractive homomorphisms. By using appropriate categories $\mathfrak X$ and functors…

In arXiv:1801.01238 a variation of Bowen's topological entropy that can be applied to the study of discontinuous semiflows on compact metric spaces was introduced. The main novetly is the use of certain family of pseudosemimetrics…

A unified formulation of the density functional theory is constructed on the foundations of entropic inference in both the classical and the quantum regimes. The theory is introduced as an application of entropic inference for inhomogeneous…

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…

Let $G,H$ be two countable amenable groups. We introduce the notion of group charts, which gives us a tool to embed an arbitrary $H$-subshift into a $G$-subshift. Using an entropy addition formula derived from this formalism we prove that…

A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…

Let $\cal{N}=\{1,\cdots,n\}$. The entropy function $\bf h$ of a set of $n$ discrete random variables $\{X_i:i\in\cal N\}$ is a $2^n$-dimensional vector whose entries are ${\bf{h}}({\cal{A}})\triangleq H(X_{\cal{A}}),\cal{A}\subset{\cal N}…

We describe dimensional entropies introduced in a previous work list some of their properties and give some new proofs. These entropies allowed the definition of entropy-expanding maps. We introduce a new notion of entropy-hyperbolicity for…

In our previous paper [9], we have introduced topological nearly entropy, Ent_N (f) by restricting X into a class of nearly compact spaces. In the present paper, some additional properties of this notion are studied. Furthermore, we…

In this paper, we provide an effective method to compute the topological entropies of $G$-subshifts of finite type ($G$-SFTs) with $G=F_{d}$ and $S_{d}$, the free group and free semigroup with $d$ generators respectively. We develop the…
