Topological entropy bounds multiscale entropy (Q6073655)

In this paper, the concept of topological entropy is defined for a discrete dynamical system over a compact metric space \(X\). Section 1 is introductory. Section 2 is devoted to the concept of topological entropy with respect to an observable function: \[ h(f,\varphi)=\sup\{h(f,\varphi,\mathcal{A}); \mathcal{A}\in \mathcal{R}\}, \] where \(f:X\to X\) and \(\varphi:X\to \mathbb{R}^k\) are continuous, \(\mathcal{A}\) is a finite cover of \(\varphi(X)\), \(h(f,\varphi,\mathcal{A})\) is the entropy generated by the finite cover \(\mathcal{A}\), and \(\mathcal{R}\) denotes the set of all finite open covers of \(\mathbb{R}^k\). In Section 3, the main properties of this notion are studied. Finally, in Section 4, some applications of the obtained results are given to the multiscale entropy.
