Abstract

In 2007, Ye \& Zhang introduced a version of local topological entropy. Since their entropy function is, as we show under mild conditions, constant for topologically transitive dynamical systems, we propose to adjust the notion in a way that does not neglect the initial transient part of an orbit. We investigate the properties of this ``transient'' version, which we call translocal entropy, and compute it in terms of Lyapunov exponents for various dynamical systems. We also investigate how this adjustment affects measure-theoretic local (Brin-Katok) entropy and local pressure functions, generalizing some partial variation principles of Ma \& Wen.

Update after the version was accepted in Qualitative Theory of Dynamical Systems, but using our own version, nut with the journal's template etc
