On the topological entropy on the space of fuzzy numbers

In the main result of this article, we prove that the topological entropies of a given interval map and its Zadeh's extension (fuzzification) to the space of fuzzy numbers (i.e., the space of fuzzy sets with connected α-cuts) are the same. This result is in contrast with our previous result, which claimed that the topological entropy of the Zadeh's extension significantly increases for a majority of simple interval maps. In addition, we prove some properties of the limit sets of trajectories that are generated by iterating the fuzzy set valued function on connected fuzzy sets; for instance, we specify the shapes of the possible limit sets. Furthermore, the presented topics are studied for set-valued (induced) discrete dynamical systems. The main results are proved with a variational principle that describes the relations between topological entropy and measure-theoretical entropy.
