In this paper, the topological entropy and measure-theoretic entropy for nonautonomous dynamical systems are studied. Some properties of these entropies are given and the relation between them is discussed. Moreover, the bounds of them for several particular nonautonomous systems, such as affine transformations on metrizable groups (especially on the torus) and smooth maps on Riemannian manifolds, are obtained.

The E-Euler process has been proposed for autonomous dynamical systems in [7]. In this paper, the E-Euler process is extended to nonautonomous dynamical systems. When a discrete function is bounded or gradually decreases to ${\epsilon}\;<<\;1$ as $n\;{\rightarrow}\;{\infty}$, it is shown that the relative error converges to a constant or decreases.

A nonlinear dissipative dynamical system can often have multiple attractors. In this case, it is important to study the global behavior of the system by determining the global domain of attraction of each attractor. In this paper we study the global behavior of a forced beam with two mode interaction. The governing equation of motion is reduced to two second-order nonlinear nonautonomous ordinary differential equations. When .omega. /=3.omega.$_{1}$ and .ohm.=.omega $_{1}$, the system can have two asymptotically stable steady-state periodic solutions, where .omega./ sub 1/, .omega.$_{2}$ and .ohm. denote natural frequencies of the first and second modes and the excitation frequency, respectively. Both solutions have the same period as the excitation period. Therefore each of them shows up as a period-1 solution in Poincare map. We show how interpolated mapping method can be used to determine the two four-dimensional domains of attraction of the two solutions in a very effective way. The results are compared with the ones obtained by direct numerical integration.
