Abstract

The authors define and study topological pre-image entropy for the non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems given by a sequence \({fi}_{\infty}^{i=1}\) of continuous self-maps of a compact topological space. The basic properties and the invariant with respect to equiconjugacy of pre-image entropy for the non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems are obtained.
