The purpose of this study is to indicate fundamental propositions of the pre-image entropy related to a system proposed by Bufetov [Bufetov A. Topological entropy of free semigroup actions and skew-product transformations. J Dyn Control Syst 1999;5:137-143. 1.] for generating free semigroup actions. This study reveals the formula for the pre-image entropy of skew-product transformation with respect to the onesided shift space. Finally, one example is presented to show how to obtain the pre-image entropy value for the skew-product transformation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
