Entropy of distal groups, pseudogroups, foliations and laminations

Andrzej Biś, Paweł Walczak (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A distality property for pseudogroups and foliations is defined. Distal foliated bundles satisfying some growth conditions are shown to have zero geometric entropy in the sense of É. Ghys, R. Langevin and P. Walczak [Acta Math. 160 (1988)].

Entropy of scalar reaction-diffusion equations

Siniša Slijepčević (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider scalar reaction-diffusion equations on bounded and extended domains, both with the autonomous and time-periodic nonlinear term. We discuss the meaning and implications of the ergodic Poincaré-Bendixson theorem to dynamics. In particular, we show that in the extended autonomous case, the space-time topological entropy is zero. Furthermore, we characterize in the extended nonautonomous case the space-time topological and metric entropies as entropies of a pair of commuting planar homeomorphisms....

Entropy on effect algebras with the Riesz decomposition property I: Basic properties

Antonio Di Nola, Anatolij Dvurečenskij, Marek Hyčko, Corrado Manara (2005)

Kybernetika

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.

Entropy pairs of ℤ² and their directional properties

Kyewon Koh Park, Uijung Lee (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Topological and metric entropy pairs of ℤ²-actions are defined and their properties are investigated, analogously to ℤ-actions. In particular, mixing properties are studied in connection with entropy pairs.

Extreme Relations for Topological Flows

Brunon Kamiński, Artur Siemaszko, Jerzy Szymański (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We introduce the concept of an extreme relation for a topological flow as an analogue of the extreme measurable partition for a measure-preserving transformation considered by Rokhlin and Sinai, and we show that every topological flow has such a relation for any invariant measure. From this result, it follows, among other things, that any deterministic flow has zero topological entropy and any flow which is a K-system with respect to an invariant measure with full support is a topological K-flow....
