چکیده
We obtain geometric upper bounds on the topological entropy of generalized polygon exchange transformations. As an application of our results, we show that billiards in polygons and rational polytops have zero topological entropy.

Entropy of a semigroup of maps from a set-valued view
In this paper, we introduce a new entropy-like invariant, named Hausdorff metric entropy, for finitely generated semigroups acting on compact metric spaces from a set-valued view and study its properties. We establish the relation between Hausdorff metric entropy and topological entropy of a semigroup defined by Bis. Some examples with positive or zero Hausdorff metric entropy are given. Moreov...
متن کاملEntropy operator for continuous dynamical systems of finite topological entropy
In this paper we introduce the concept of entropy operator for continuous systems of finite topological entropy. It is shown that it generates the Kolmogorov entropy as a special case. If $phi$ is invertible then the entropy operator is bounded with the topological entropy of $phi$ as its norm.
متن کاملA Generalized Topological Entropy for Analyzing the Complexity of DNA Sequences
Topological entropy is one of the most difficult entropies to be used to analyze the DNA sequences, due to the finite sample and high-dimensionality problems. In order to overcome these problems, a generalized topological entropy is introduced. The relationship between the topological entropy and the generalized topological entropy is compared, which shows the topological entropy is a special c...
متن کاملProjective Surface Automorphisms of Positive Topological Entropy from an Arithmetic Viewpoint
Let X be a smooth projective surface over a number field K(⊂ C), and f : X → X an automorphism of positive topological entropy. In this paper, we show that there are only finitely many f -periodic curves on X . Then we define a height function ĥD corresponding to a certain nef and big R-divisor D on X and transforming well relative to f , and deduce some arithmetic properties of f -periodic poi...
متن کاملTopological Entropy of Standard Type Monotone Twist Maps
We study invariant measures of families of monotone twist maps Sγ(q, p) = (2q−p+γ ·V ′(q), q) with periodic Morse potential V . We prove that there exist a constant C = C(V ) such that the topological entropy satisfies htop(Sγ) ≥ log(C · γ)/3. In particular, htop(Sγ) → ∞ for |γ| → ∞. We show also that there exist arbitrary large γ such that Sγ has nonuniformly hyperbolic invariant measures μγ w...
