# A note on specification for iterated function systems

• We introduce several notions of specification for iterated function systems and exhibit some of their dynamical properties. In particular, we show that topological entropy and algebraic pressure [4] of systems with specification are approximable by the corresponding expressions for finitely generated iterated function systems.
