An interval counterexample on topological sequence entropy
Let \((X,d)\) be a compact metric space and \(f:X\to X\) a continuous map. Given a sequence of positive numbers \(A\), denote by \(h_A(f)\) the sequence topological entropy of \(f\) associated to \(A\). It is a useful tool to determine, in some cases, if a continuous map is chaotic or not. The computation of this sequence topological entropy is complicated in the setting of general compact metric spaces. That is why it is important to develop formulas showing that \(h_A(f)=h_A(f|_Y)\) where \(Y\subset X\) is a relevant subset of \(X\) from the dynamical point of view. In the paper under review, the author deals with the problem of proving if for interval maps, the formula \(h_A(f)=h_A(f|_{\Omega(f)})\) is true, where \(\Omega(f)\) denotes the non-wandering set of \(f\). It is well known that the formula is true for topological entropy of continuous maps in compact metric spaces. The author constructs an interval map \(f\) showing that the formula is not true. To this end he uses the symbolic dynamics for a certain class of weakly unimodal maps. He proves that using the sequence \(A=(2^n)^\infty_{n=1}\) one obtaines \(h_A(f)\leq \log 2\) and \(h_A(f|_{\Omega(f)})=0\). This also provides a counterexample for the variational principle for the sequence topological entropy in the setting of interval maps.
