Observing how long a dynamical system takes to return to some state is one of the most simple ways to model and quantify its dynamics from data series. This work proposes two formulas to estimate the KS entropy and a lower bound of it, a sort of Shannon’s entropy per unit of time, from the recurrence times of chaotic systems. One formula provides the KS entropy and is more theoretically oriente...

We generalize Brudno’s theorem of 1-dimensional shift dynamical system to Z (or Zd+) subshifts. That is to say, in Z d (or Zd+) subshift, the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is equivalent to the Kolmogorov complexity density almost everywhere for an ergodic shift-invariant measure.

We study the time evolution of a quantum system without classical counterpart, undergoing a process of entropy increase due to the environment influence. We show that if the environment-induced decoherence is interpreted in terms of wave-function collapses, a symbolic sequence can be generated. We prove that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this sequence coincides with rate of von Neumann entrop...

The scope of this paper is twofold. First, we use the Kolmogorov-Sinai Entropy to estimate lower bounds for dominant eigenvalues of nonnegative matrices. The lower bound is better than the Rayleigh quotient. Second, we use this estimate to give a nontrivial lower bound for the gaps of dominant eigenvalues ofA and A+V.

We present a general approach for computing the dynamic partition function of a continuous-time Markov process. The Ruelle topological pressure is identified with the large deviation function of a physical observable. We construct for the first time a corresponding finite Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy for these processes. Then, as an example, the latter is computed for a symmetric exclusion process....

We characterize positive topological entropy for quasi-state space homeomorphisms induced from C∗-algebra automorphisms in terms of dynamically generated subspaces isomorphic to l1. This geometric condition is also used to give a description of the topological Pinsker algebra. In particular we obtain a geometric characterization of positive entropy for topological dynamical systems, as well as ...

We study the dynamics of hierarchy of piecewise maps generated by one-parameter families of trigonometric chaotic maps and one-parameter families of elliptic chaotic maps of cn and sn types, in detail. We calculate the Lyapunov exponent and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of the these maps with respect to control parameter. Non-ergodicity of these piecewise maps is proven analytically and investigated...
