Eine Bemerkung zur topologischen Entropie.
Approximation theory in the context of probability density function turns out to go beyond the classical idea of orthogonal projection. Special tools have to be designed so as to respect the nonnegativity of the approximate function. We develop here and justify from the theoretical point of view an approximation procedure introduced by Levermore [Levermore, J. Stat. Phys. 83 (1996) 1021–1065] and based on an entropy minimization principle under moment constraints. We prove in particular a global...

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 .
