Entropy, capacity and arrangements on the cube.
We define the space of trajectories of a doubly stochastic operator on L¹(X,μ) as a shift space , where ν is a probability measure defined as in the Ionescu-Tulcea theorem and σ is the shift transformation. We study connections between the entropy of a doubly stochastic operator and the entropy of the shift on the space of trajectories of this operator.
We study the entropy mainly on special effect algebras with (RDP), namely on tribes of fuzzy sets and sigma-complete MV-algebras. We generalize results from [RiMu] and [RiNe] which were known only for special tribes.
We define the entropy, lower and upper entropy, and the conditional entropy of a dynamical system consisting of an effect algebra with the Riesz decomposition property, a state, and a transformation. Such effect algebras allow many refinements of two partitions. We present the basic properties of these entropies and these notions are illustrated by many examples. Entropy on MV-algebras is postponed to Part II.
A fixed point theorem in ordered spaces and a recently proved monotone convergence theorem are applied to derive existence and comparison results for solutions of a functional integral equation of Volterra type and a functional impulsive Cauchy problem in an ordered Banach space. A novel feature is that equations contain locally Henstock-Kurzweil integrable functions.
Let denote the isometry group of . We prove that if G is a paradoxical subgroup of then there exist G-equidecomposable Jordan domains with piecewise smooth boundaries and having different volumes. On the other hand, we construct a system of Jordan domains with differentiable boundaries and of the same volume such that has the cardinality of the continuum, and for every amenable subgroup G of , the elements of are not G-equidecomposable; moreover, their interiors are not G-equidecomposable...
Let f: ℙ → ℙ be a holomorphic endomorphism of a complex projective space , k ≥ 1, and let J be the Julia set of f (the topological support of the unique maximal entropy measure). Then there exists a positive number such that if ϕ: J → ℝ is a Hölder continuous function with , then ϕ admits a unique equilibrium state on J. This equilibrium state is equivalent to a fixed point of the normalized dual Perron-Frobenius operator. In addition, the dynamical system is K-mixing, whence ergodic. Proving...
