Abstract: Bowen introduced a definition of topological entropy of subset inspired by Hausdorff dimension in 1973 cite{B}. In this paper we consider the Bowen's entropy for amenable group action dynamical systems and show that under the tempered condition, the Bowen entropy of the whole compact space for a given F{o}lner sequence equals to the topological entropy. For the proof of this result, we establish a variational principle related to the Bowen entropy and the Brin-Katok's local entropy formula for dynamical systems with amenable group actions.


Let \((X,G)\) be a compact metric \(G\)-action topological dynamical system. The following is the main result in this paper. Theorem. Suppose that \(G\) is a discrete countable amenable group. Then, for any tempered Følner sequence \((F_n)\) in \(G\) with the decreasing condition \[ \lim_{n\to \infty} |F_n|/\log(n)=\infty, \] we have \[ h_{\mathrm{top}}^B(X,(F_n))=h_{\mathrm{top}}(X,G). \] The obtained result extends and completes a related statement in [\textit{R. Bowen}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 184, 125--136 (1974; Zbl 0274.54030)]. Further aspects involving this result are discussed.
