摘要:In dynamical systems, the classical Ruelle inequality tells us that the metric entropy is dominated by the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents. In this talk, I will talk about a folding type Ruelle inequality, which looks at the system from backward process.

题目: An Application of folding type inequality--- Upper semi-continuity of metric entropy

摘要:As an application of folding type inequality introduced in the first part of the talk, I will introduce the notion of folding rate and give a sufficient condition of upper semi-continuity of metric entropy for interval or circle maps.

摘要:I will talk about an example of interval map for which an ergodic measure with positive entropy is not an upper semi-continuity point of metric entropy. This ergodic measure is approximated by a sequence of invariant measures without uniform folding rate, which implies that the condition of uniform folding rate in the second part of the talk is sharp.  Also, this gives a negative answer to the question that whether ergodic measure with positive entropy is an upper semi-continuity point of metric entropy.
