Abstract
Let be a topological dynamical system. We define the measure-theoretical lower and upper entropies , for any , where denotes the collection of all Borel probability measures on . For any non-empty compact subset of , we show that where denotes Bowen's topological entropy of , and the packing topological entropy of . Furthermore, when , the first equality remains valid when is replaced by an arbitrarily analytic subset of . The second equality always extends to any analytic subset of .
