Description

Let (X,d) be a compact metric space and let f:X->X be continuous. Let K(X) be the family of compact subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff metric and define the extension f-bar :K(X)->K(X) by f-bar (K)=f(K) for any K-bar K(X). We prove that the topological entropy of f-bar is greater or equal than the topological entropy of f, and this inequality can be strict. On the other hand, we prove that the topological entropy of f is positive if and only if the topological entropy of f-bar is also positive
