چکیده
This paper deals with the relationship between the periodic orbits of continuous maps on graphs and the topological entropy of the map. We show that the topological entropy of a graph map can be approximated by the entropy of its periodic orbits.

Entropy Estimate for Maps on Forests
A 1993 result of J. Llibre, and M. Misiurewicz, (Theorem A [5]), states that if a continuous map f of a graph into itself has an s-horseshoe, then the topological entropy of f is greater than or equal to logs, that is h( f ) ? logs. Also a 1980 result of L.S. Block, J. Guckenheimer, M. Misiurewicz and L.S. Young (Lemma 1.5 [3]) states that if G is an A-graph of f then h(G) ? h( f ). In this pap...
متن کاملBilliards in the ZP Unit Balls of the Plane
We study a one-parameter family of billiard maps Tp given by the convex tables j.rIP + IyIP = 1 for p E [l, m]. We note that the topological entropy is positive if p $ {l, 2, a}. We study the linear stability of some periodic orbits and observe that the stability of these orbits changes for p = 2. For p $ { 1, 2, m}, there exist elliptic periodic orbits suggesting that Tp is not ergodic for all...
متن کاملPeriodic orbits and topological entropy of delayed maps.
The periodic orbits of a nonlinear dynamical system provide valuable insight into the topological and metric properties of its chaotic attractors. In this paper we describe general properties of periodic orbits of dynamical systems with feedback delay. In the case of delayed maps, these properties enable us to provide general arguments about the boundedness of the topological entropy in the hig...
متن کاملA Remark on Papers by Pixton and Oliveira: Genericity of Symplectic Diffeomorphisms of S2 with Positive Topological Entropy
We prove the existence of an open and dense subset of maps f 2 Diff 1 ! (S 2) which have positive topological entropy. It follows that these maps have innnitely many hyperbolic periodic points and an exponential growth rate of hyperbolic periodic points. The proof is an application of Pixton's theorem. Topological entropy characterizes the total exponential orbit complexity of a map with a sing...
متن کاملHomoclinic orbits and bifurcation of entropy-carrying hit-sets
We study a generic piecewise monotone map f : [0, 1] → [0, 1] with a particular type of entropy-carrying set X. We show under certain conditions that maps sufficiently C-close to f with more topological entropy have entropy-carrying sets containing X. New homoclinic orbits are created to every periodic point of X. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC2000). 37E05, 37B40, 37Gxx
