For a continuous map f from the real line (half-open interval [0, 1)) into itself let ent(f ) denote the supremum of topological entropies of f | K , where K runs over all compact f -invariant subsets of R ([0, 1), respectively). It is proved that if f is topologically transitive, then the best lower bound of ent(f ) is log √ 3 (log 3, respectively) and it is not attained. This solves a problem posed by Cánovas [Dyn. Syst. 24 (2009), no. 4, 473-483].
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.
