Entropy evolution for the Baker map

Chaos. 1998 Jun;8(2):462-465. doi: 10.1063/1.166327.

Abstract

Gibbs entropy is invariant for the Baker map. A Jordan basis spectral decomposition of the Baker Frobenius-Perron operator suggests that any initial density evolves to the stationary density that has maximal entropy. This entropy conundrum is resolved by considering the difference between weak and strong convergence. A binary representation is used to make these points transparent.
