Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to generalize the variational principle, which states that the topological entropy is equal to the supremum of the measure theoretical entropies and also the minimum of the metric theoretical entropies, to non-compact dynamical systems by utilizing the co-compact entropy. The equivalence between positive co-compact entropy and the existence of p-horseshoes over the real line is also proved. This implies a system over real line with positive co-compact entropy contains a compact inv… Show more
