Abstract

For a mapping F:ℝ2→ℝ2 being a lift of an isotopic to the identity homeomorphism of the two-dimensional torus the rotation set ρ(F) consists of limit points of all sequences where xi, ∈ ℝ2 and ni→∞. It is known that if ρ(F) has nonempty interior then h(f) (the topological entropy of ƒ) is positive. We provide an estimate from below of h(f) in terms of ρ(F).
