The topological entropy of Banach spaces

Abstract

We investigate some properties of (universal) Banach spaces of real functions in the context of topological entropy. Among other things, we show that any subspace of $C([0,1])$ which is isometrically isomorphic to ${\ell }_1$ contains a functions with infinite topological entropy. Also, for any $t\in [0,\infty ]$, we construct a (one-dimensional) Banach space in which any nonzero function has topological entropy equal to $t$.
