Topological pressure and topological entropy of a semigroup of maps

• By using the Carathéodory-Pesin structure(C-P structure), with respect to arbitrary subset, the topological pressure and topological entropy, introduced for a single continuous map, is generalized to the cases of semigroup of continuous maps. Several of their basic properties are provided.
