Topological spaces
For mappings , where is a merotopic space equipped with a diameter function, we introduce and examine an entropy, called the -entropy. The topological entropy and the entropy of self-mappings of metric spaces are shown to be special cases of the -entropy. Some connections with other characteristics of self-mappings are considered. We also introduce and examine an entropy for subsets of , which is closely connected with the -entropy of .
We describe a conceptual approach which provides a unified view of various entropy-like functionals on the class of semimetric spaces, endowed with a bounded measure. The entropy considered in the author’s previous articles is modified so as to assume finite values for a fairly wide class of spaces which fail to be totally bounded.
