Abstract

Cheng and Newhouse (Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys. 25 (2005), 1091–1113) proved a variational principle for topological preimage entropy $h_{\mathrm {pre}}(f)$:

$$ \begin{align*} h_{\mathrm{pre}}(f)=\sup_{\mu\in\mathcal{M}(X,f)}h_{\mathrm{pre},\mu}(f). \end{align*} $$

Unfortunately, we show in this note that this variational principle is not true.
