Weakly weighted generalised quasi-metric spaces and semilattices
share
Motivated by recent applications to entropy theory in dynamical systems, we generalise notions introduced by Matthews and define weakly weighted and componentwisely weakly weighted (generalised) quasi-metrics. We then systematise and extend to full generality the correspondences between these objects and other structures arising in theoretical computer science and dynamics. In particular, we study the correspondences with weak partial metrics, and, if the underlying space is a semilattice, with invariant (generalised) quasi-metrics satisfying the descending path condition, and with strictly monotone semi(-co-)valuations. We conclude discussing, for endomorphisms of generalised quasi-metric semilattices, a generalisation of both the known intrinsic semilattice entropy and the semigroup entropy.
