Dynamical entourages #
Bowen-Dinaburg's definition of topological entropy of a transformation T
in a metric space
(X, d)
relies on the so-called dynamical balls. These balls are sets
B (x, ε, n) = { y | ∀ k < n, d(T^[k] x, T^[k] y) < ε }
.
We implement Bowen-Dinaburg's definitions in the more general context of uniform spaces. Dynamical balls are replaced by what we call dynamical entourages. This file collects all general lemmas about these objects.

Once #PR14718 has passed, add product of entourages.
In the context of (pseudo-e)metric spaces, relate the usual definition of dynamical balls with these dynamical entourages.
The dynamical entourage associated to a transformation T
, entourage U
and time n
is the set of points (x, y)
such that (T^[k] x, T^[k] y) ∈ U
for all k < n
, i.e.
which are U
-close up to time n
