Topological entropy dimension for noncompact sets

Similar with the fractal dimension, we introduce the concept of topological entropy dimension to classify the sets with entropy zero. We prove that the entropy dimension of the space in this article is not greater than that defined by De Carvalho, where he introduced the entropy dimension for the system, and give some examples indicating that such inequality is optimal. Some basic propositions of entropy dimension are discussed and it turns out that the entropy dimension is invariant under conjugacy. The property of the countable stability and a power rule for the entropy dimension of any set are obtained. It is shown that any set shares the same entropy dimension with its image set.     

Different forms of entropy dimension for zero entropy systems

The aim of this paper is to introduce the lower s-topological entropy to distinguish zero entropy systems. That this quantity is an invariant factor under topological conjugacy and a power rule is shown. Some examples are given to show that the lower entropy dimension can attain any value in (0, 1), and are different with the upper one and the entropy dimension in the sense of Bowen. A counterexample is used to indicate that the product rule does not hold, and the lower s-topological entropy of the subsystem for the non-wandering set can be strictly less than that of the system when 0 < s < 1. Finally, this study also constructs a dynamical system to show that the transitive system with zero entropy dimension may not be minimal.

Some properties of topological pressure of a semigroup of continuous maps

Based on the work of Ma and Wu,[9 Ma D, Wu M. Topological pressure and topological entropy of a semigroup of maps. Discrete Contin Dyn Syst. 2011;31:545–557.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] some equivalent definitions of topological pressure of a semigroup of continuous maps are given and several of their basic properties are provided by using separated sets and spanning sets. We also answer an open problem of Bi? and Urbański.[19 Bi? A, Urbański M. Some remarks on topological entropy of a semigroup of continuous maps. Cubo. 2006;8:63–71. [Google Scholar]] That is, letting f_i, i = 2, … , k, be homeomorphisms acting on a compact metric space, G₁ = {id_X, f₂, … , f_k}, G^{? 1}₁ = {id_X, f^{? 1}₂, …, f_k^{? 1}} and letting G and G^?1 denote the semigroups generated by G₁ and G^{? 1}₁, respectively, we give an example showing that the topological entropy of G does not equal the topological entropy of G^?1.     

Systems with almost specification property may have zero entropy

It is shown that there exist systems having almost specification property and zero entropy. Since Bowen has shown that systems with specification property must have positive entropy, this result reveals further the difference between almost specification and specification. Moreover, one can obtain a both sufficient and necessary condition to ensure positive entropy for systems with almost specification property.     

The irregular set for maps with the specification property has full topological pressure

Let (X, d) be a compact metric space, f : X ? X be a continuous map with the specification property and ? : X ? ? a continuous function. We consider the set of points for which the Birkhoff average of ? does not exist (which we call the irregular set for ?) and show that this set is either empty or carries full topological pressure (in the sense of Pesin and Pitskel see, for example [Y.B. Pesin, Dimension Theory in Dimensional Systems: Contemporary Views and Applications, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1997]). We formulate various equivalent natural conditions on ? that completely describe when the latter situation holds and give examples of interesting systems to which our results apply but were not previously known. As an application, we show that for a suspension flow over a continuous map with specification, the irregular set carries full topological entropy.     

Measure-theoretic pressure and topological pressure in mean metrics

In this paper, using spanning sets in mean metrics we construct a new definition of measure-theoretic pressure of ergodic measures over a topological dynamical system. And we establish a pressure version of Katok's entropy formula in the case of mean metrics. Furthermore, we also introduce a new definition of topological pressure by replacing the Bowen metrics with the corresponding mean metrics, and prove that the new topological pressure is equivalent to the classical topological pressure. Then the variational principle for the newly defined topological pressure is obtained.     

Sub-additive topological pressure of proper maps

We introduce a natural extension of sub-additive topological pressure for a proper map of locally compact metric spaces and present a corresponding variational principle. As an application, for a class of sub-additive sequence, we describe a multi-fractal analysis of the entropy spectra of their generalized Birkhorff averages.     

Topological entropy of continuous transitive maps on the real line

The topological entropy of a continuous transitive map f : ? → ? is studied. We find lower bounds for the topological entropy of f and prove that transitive real maps can have finite entropy.     

Topological Quantum Phase Transition and Superconductivity Induced by Pressure in the Bismuth Tellurohalide BiTeI

A pressure‐induced topological quantum phase transition has been theoretically predicted for the semiconductor bismuth tellurohalide BiTeI with giant Rashba spin splitting. In this work, evolution of the electrical transport properties in BiTeI and BiTeBr is investigated under high pressure. The pressure‐dependent resistivity in a wide temperature range passes through a minimum at around 3 GPa, indicating the predicted topological quantum phase transition in BiTeI. Superconductivity is observed in both BiTeI and BiTeBr, while resistivity at higher temperatures still exhibits semiconducting behavior. Theoretical calculations suggest that superconductivity may develop from the multivalley semiconductor phase. The superconducting transition temperature, T_c, increases with applied pressure and reaches a maximum value of 5.2 K at 23.5 GPa for BiTeI (4.8 K at 31.7 GPa for BiTeBr), followed by a slow decrease. The results demonstrate that BiTeX (X = I, Br) compounds with nontrivial topology of electronic states display new ground states upon compression.     

Criteria for Realizing Room-Temperature Electrical Transport Applications of Topological Materials

The unusual electronic states found in topological materials can enable a new generation of devices and technologies, yet a long-standing challenge has been finding materials without deleterious parallel bulk conduction. This can arise either from defects or thermally activated carriers. Here, the criteria that materials need to meet to realize transport properties dominated by the topological states, a necessity for a topological device, are clarified. This is demonstrated for 3D topological insulators, 3D Dirac materials, and 1D quantum anomalous Hall insulators, though this can be applied to similar systems. The key parameters are electronic bandgap, dielectric constant, and carrier effective mass, which dictate under what circumstances (defect density, temperature, etc.) the unwanted bulk state will conduct in parallel to the topological states. As these are fundamentally determined by the basic atomic properties, simple chemical arguments can be used to navigate the phase space to ultimately find improved materials. This will enable rapid identification of new systems with improved properties, which is crucial to designing new material systems and push a new generation of topological technologies.

Topological derivatives for fundamental frequencies of elastic bodies

In this article a new method for topological optimization of fundamental frequencies of elastic bodies, which could be considered as an improvement on the bubble method, is introduced. The method is based on generalized topological derivatives. For a body with different types of inclusion the vector genus is introduced. The dimension of the genus is the number of different elastic properties of the inclusions being introduced. The disturbances of stress and strain fields in an elastic matrix due to a newly inserted elastic inhomogeneity are given explicitly in terms of the stresses and strains in the initial body. The iterative positioning of inclusions is carried out by determination of the preferable position of the new inhomogeneity at the extreme points of the characteristic function. The characteristic function was derived using Eshelby's method. The expressions for optimal ratios of the semi-axes of the ellipse and angular orientation of newly inserted infinitesimally small inclusions of elliptical form are derived in closed analytical form.     

Variational principle for topological tail pressures with sub-additive upper semi-continuous potentials

The topological tail pressure and the conditional pressure are defined for sub-additive upper semi-continuous potentials via separated subsets and refining sequences of partitions in topological dynamical systems with finite topological entropy respectively. By proving the equivalence of the topological tail pressure and the conditional pressure with respect to the refining sequence of essential partitions, we present a variational principle for the topological tail pressure without any additional assumptions. The properties of the topological tail pressure including the power rule, the product rule and the natural extension are also discussed.     

Topological properties of invariant sets for two-dimensional hyperbolic toral automorphisms

We study topological properties of invariant sets of Anosov diffeomorphisms with holes. Results related to cardinality, local maximality, entropy and dimension are presented. The main result states that the Hausdorff dimension of the invariant set can be computed by the entropy of the invariant set together with the hyperbolicity constants.     

加载条件对内高压成形管件尺寸精度的影响

为了研究内高压成形管件横截面尺寸变化规律,获得管件横截面尺寸精度的调控方法,采用内高压成形实验研究了内压和合模力加载条件对低碳钢变径管直径尺寸精度的影响规律。结果表明:随着内压从60 MPa增加到210 MPa,变径管直径逐渐增加,卸压出模后管件发生0.045%～0.075%的回弹,当内压为150 MPa时,获得的管件直径尺寸精度最高。随着合模力增加,变径管水平方向的直径尺寸逐渐增大,竖直方向的直径尺寸逐渐减小,横截面不圆度增大,导致尺寸精度降低。因此,在内高压成形中,可通过增加模具尺寸或采用可变合模力加载以降低合模力对管件横截面尺寸精度的影响,也可通过控制内压使模具弹性变形量恰好等于管件回弹量,从而使管件最终直径尺寸等于设计值,以保证管件的横截面尺寸精度。
