The paper is a survey of rigorous mathematical results on the Kolmogorov-Sinai (KS) entropy for Lorentz gases and hard ball systems. The survey begins with a relation between KS entropy \(h(T)\) and Abramov's entropy of flows \(h(\Phi^t)\). The development of this subject is discussed. In application to \(d\)-dimensional Lorentz gases this gives formulars of the kind \[ h(T)=-d(d-1)\ln \varepsilon+O(1), \] \[ h(\Phi^t) = -d(d - 1)|B^{d-1}||S^{d-1}|^{-1}S_1\varepsilon^{d-1}\ln\varepsilon+ O(\varepsilon^{d-1})\quad \text{as}\quad \varepsilon\to 0. \] The dynamics of the hard balls with elastic collisions corresponds to the billiard dynamics in the configuration space \(Q\) with specular reflections at the boundary \(\partial Q\). It is found out that the billiard system in \(Q\) is not ergodic. There are formulas for the mean free path on the surface \(P=0\) in the phase space (\(P\) is the total momentum) and for the mean intercollision time for every individual particle. The infinite particle systems are discussed as well. Exact formulas and asymptotic estimates of the entropy are discussed for various models. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0953.00014].
