Abstract

We investigate the relationship between Poincaré recurrence and topological entropy of a dynamical system (X,f). For , let D(α,β) be the set of x with lower and upper recurrence rates α and β, respectively. Under the assumptions that the system is not minimal and that the map f is positively expansive and satisfies the specification condition, we show that for any open subset , has the full topological entropy of X. This extends a result of Feng and Wu [The Hausdorff dimension of recurrence sets in symbolic spaces. Nonlinearity14 (2001), 81–85] for symbolic spaces.
