In the context of state estimation under communication constraints, several notions of dynamical entropy play a fundamental role, among them: topological entropy and restoration entropy. In this paper, we present a theorem that demonstrates that for most dynamical systems, restoration entropy strictly exceeds topological entropy. This implies that robust estimation policies in general require a higher rate of data transmission than non-robust ones. The proof of our theorem is quite short, but uses sophisticated tools from the theory of smooth dynamical systems.

Constructing a Poincaré map is a method that is often used to study high-dimensional dynamical systems. In this paper, a geometric model of nonoriented Lorenz-type attractor is studied using this method, and its dynamical property is described. The topological entropy of one-dimensional nonoriented Lorenz-type maps is also computed in terms of their kneading sequences.

A rigorous dynamical systems-based hierarchy is established for the definitions of entropy of Shannon (information), Kolmogorov–Sinai (metric) and Adler, Konheim & McAndrew (topological). In particular, metric entropy, with the imposition of some additional properties, is proven to be a special case of topological entropy and Shannon entropy is shown to be a particular form of metric entropy. This is the first of two papers aimed at establishing a dynamically grounded hierarchy comprising Clausius, Boltzmann, Gibbs, Shannon, metric and topological entropy in which each element is ideally a special case of its successor or some kind of limit thereof.
