Abstract

We prove that every self-homeomorphism h:KsKsh : K_s \to K_s on the inverse limit space KsK_s of the tent map TsT_s with slope s(2,2]s \in (\sqrt 2, 2] has topological entropy \htop(h)=Rlogs\htop(h) = |R| \log s, where RZR \in \Z is such that hh and σR\sigma^R are isotopic. Conclusions on the possible values of the entropy of homeomorphisms of the inverse limit space of a (renormalizable) quadratic map are drawn as well.
