We consider a $C^1$ neighborhood of the time-one map of a hyperbolic flow and prove that the topological entropy varies continuously for diffeomorphisms in this neighborhood. This shows that the topological entropy varies continuously for…

We prove two relative local variational principles of topological pressure functions $P(T,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{U},y)$ and$P(T,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{U}|Y)$ for a given factor map $\pi$, an open cover $\mathcal{U} $ and a subadditive sequence…
