Entropy points of continuous maps with the sensitivity and the shadowing property (Q306119)

One of the most important properties of chaotic dynamical systems is the sensitivity. The shadowing property is the other one. Let \((X,d)\) be a compact metric space and let \(f:X\rightarrow X\) be a continuous map. For \(e >0\), a point \(x\in X\) is said to be an \(e\)-sensitive point of \(f\) if for any neighborhood \(U\) of \(x\), there exist \(y, z\in U\) and \(n\in \mathbf{N}\) such that \(d(f^{n}(y), f^{n}(z))>e\). Denote by Sen\(_e(f)\) the set of \(e\)-sensitive points of \(f\). A point \(x\in X\) is said to be an entropy point of \(f\) if \(h_{\mathrm{top}}(f, \overline{U}) >0\) for any neighborhood \(U\) of \(x\). Let \(\mathrm{Ent}(f)\) denote the set of entropy points of \(f\). In the present paper, the author proves that the systems of continuous maps with the sensitivity and the shadowing property have a positive topological entropy. The author proves the following theorem: Theorem 1.1. Let \(f:X\rightarrow X\) be a continuous map and let \(S\subset X\) be a closed \(f\)-invariant subset. If there is \(e>0\) for which \(\{x\in S:\omega(x) \cap \mathrm{Sen}_e(f|_S)\neq \emptyset\}\) is dense in \(S\) and \(f\) has a \(c\)-shadowing property around \(S\) with \(0 <2c <e\), then for any \(x\in S\), there exists \(y\in\mathrm{Ent}(f)\) such that \(d(x, y) \leq c\). In particular, if \(f\) has the shadowing property around \(S\), then \(S\subset\mathrm{Ent}(f)\). The author also gives a version for homeomorphisms of the Theorem 1.1. The author proves that the weak sensitivity together with a shadowing property ensures a positive topological entropy. Moreover, two corollaries are proved.
