On axiomatic characterization of entropy of type
It is shown that there exists a flow on a Lebesgue space with finite entropy and an extremal σ-algebra of it which is not perfect.
Let T be a finite entropy, aperiodic automorphism of a nonatomic probability space. We give an elementary proof of the existence of a finite entropy, countable generating partition for T.
We define the concept of directional entropy for arbitrary -actions on a Lebesgue space, we examine its basic properties and consider its behaviour in the class of product actions and rigid actions.
We show that for any cellular automaton (CA) ℤ²-action Φ on the space of all doubly infinite sequences with values in a finite set A, determined by an automaton rule , l,r ∈ ℤ, l ≤ r, and any Φ-invariant Borel probability measure, the directional entropy , v⃗= (x,y) ∈ ℝ², is bounded above by if and by in the opposite case, where , . We also show that in the class of permutative CA-actions the bounds are attained if the measure considered is uniform Bernoulli.
Recently D. Dumitrescu ([4], [5]) introduced a new kind of entropy of dynamical systems using fuzzy partitions ([1], [6]) instead of usual partitions (see also [7], [11], [12]). In this article a representation theorem is proved expressing the entropy of the dynamical system by the entropy of a generating partition.
