Additivity with respect to exact sequences is, notoriously, a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms.
It was proved for abelian groups by using the structure theorems for such groups in an essential way.
On the other hand, a solvable counterexample was recently found, showing that it does not hold in general.
Nevertheless, we give a rather short proof of the additivity of algebraic entropy for locally finite groups that are either quasihamiltonian or FC-groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
