We explore the dynamics of graph maps with zero topological entropy. It is shown that a continuous map $f$ on a topological graph $G$ has zero topological entropy if and only if it is locally mean equicontinuous, that is the dynamics on…

Transitivity, the existence of periodic points and positive topological entropy can be used to characterize complexity in dynamical systems. It is known that for graphs that are not trees, for every $\varepsilon>0,$ there exist (complicate)…

Given a tree map $f:T\to T$, we study the dynamics of subcontinua of $T$ under action of $f$. In particular, we prove that a subcontinuum of $T$ is either asymptotically periodic or asymptotically degenerate. As an application of this…

In this paper we give a fully combinatorial description of the zero entropy periodic patterns on trees. Unlike previously known characterizations of such patterns, our criterion is independent of any particular topological realization of…

We show that every dendrite satisfying the condition that no subtree of it contains all free arcs admits a transitive, even exactly Devaney chaotic map with arbitrarily small entropy. This gives a partial answer to a question of Baldwin…

In this paper we study topological entropy and recurrence properties of non-autonomous dynamical system generated by a family of continuous self maps on a compact space X. Specially, we introduce the pseudo-entropy and…

For every $0<\alpha\le\infty$ we construct a continuous pure mixing map (topologically mixing, but not exact) on the Gehman dendrite with topological entropy $\alpha$. It has been previously shown by \v{S}pitalsk\'y that there are exact…

In this paper, we study dynamics of maps on quasi-graphs characterizing their invariant measures. In particular, we prove that every invariant measure of quasi-graph map with zero topological entropy has discrete spectrum. Additionally, we…

In this note we study some properties of topological entropy for non-compact non-metrizable spaces. We prove that if a uniformly continuous self-map $f$ of a uniform space has topological shadowing property then the map $f$ has positive…

We give a definition of topological entropy for tree shifts, prove that the limit in the definition exists, and show that it dominates the topological entropy of the associated one-dimensional shift of finite type when the labeling of the…

We explore the relationship between Turing completeness and topological entropy of dynamical systems. We first prove that a natural class of Turing machines that we call "branching Turing machines" (which includes most of the known examples…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. The set $\text{F}^{r}(M)$ consisting of sequences $(f_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ of $C^{r}$-diffeomorphisms on $M$ can be endowed with the compact topology or with the strong topology. A notion of…

In connection with the Entropy Conjecture it is known that the topological entropy of a continuous graph map is bounded from below by the spectral radius of the induced map on the first homology group. We show that in the case of a…

We study the dynamical properties of ball expanding maps, a class of continuous self-maps defined on compact metric spaces. For a ball expanding map, we show that: (1) the set of periodic points is dense in the chain recurrent set; (2) if…

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…

We study the topological entropy of hom tree-shifts and show that, although the topological entropy is not a conjugacy invariant for tree-shifts in general, it remains invariant for hom tree higher block shifts. In…

The topological entropy of piecewise affine maps is studied. It is shown that singularities may contribute to the entropy only if there is angular expansion and we bound the entropy via the expansion rates of the map. As a corollary we…

We show that for the standard map family, for all values of the parameter, except one, the mapping has positive topological entropy. The main tool is the following result. Let $S$ be a compact connected orientable surface and $f:S…

We show that for every topological dynamical system with the approximate product property, zero topological entropy is equivalent to unique ergodicity. Equivalence of minimality is also proved under a slightly stronger condition. Moreover,…

We study the directional entropy of the dynamical system associated to a $\Z^2$ configuration in a finite alphabet. We show that under local assumptions on the complexity, either every direction has zero topological entropy or some…
