Entropic Dynamics is a framework in which dynamical laws are derived as an application of entropic methods of inference. No underlying action principle is postulated. Instead, the dynamics is driven by entropy subject to the constraints…

Topological entropy is a widely studied indicator of chaos in topological dynamics. Here we give a generalized definition of topological entropy which may be applied to set-valued functions. We demonstrate that some of the well-known…

We consider positive entropy $G$-systems for certain countable, discrete, infinite left-orderable amenable groups $G$. By undertaking local analysis, the existence of asymptotic pairs and chaotic sets will be studied in connecting with the…

In the study of aperiodic order via dynamical methods, topological entropy is an important concept. In this paper, parts of the theory, like Bowen's formula for fibre wise entropy or the independence of the definition from the choice of a…

Waist inequality is a fundamental inequality in geometry and topology. We apply it to the study of entropy and mean dimension of dynamical systems. We consider equivariant continuous maps between dynamical systems and assume that the mean…

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…

Entropy is one of the key thermodynamic variables reflecting changes in the state of matter. Unlike other thermodynamic variables, it is well-defined also for nonequilibrium steady states through its relation to information. Applying this…

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…

Bohr chaoticity is a topological notion of dynamical complexity defined through non-orthogonality to all non-trivial weights. It is strictly stronger than positivity of topological entropy and also has strong consequences for the…

In the present work we consider the behavior of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the 2-torus $T^2$ for an arbitrary Riemannian metric. A natural non-negative quantity which measures the complexity of the geodesic flow is the…

Positive topological entropy and distributional chaos are characterized for hereditary shifts. A hereditary shift has positive topological entropy if and only if it is DC2-chaotic (or equivalently, DC3-chaotic) if and only if it is not…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system consisting of a compact metric space $X$ and a continuous surjective map $T : X \to X$. By using local entropy theory, we prove that $(X,T)$ has uniformly positive entropy if and only if so does…

A geometric entropy is defined as the Riemannian volume of the parameter space of a statistical manifold associated with a given network. As such it can be a good candidate for measuring networks complexity. Here we investigate its ability…
