Periodic orbits, entropy, and rotation sets of continuous mappings of the circle (Q2266251)

Let \(f: S^ 1\to S^ 1\) be a continuous mapping with \(\deg (f)=1\) and \(\rho\) (f) be its rotation set. Then either (1) \(\rho\) (f) is an irrational point or (2) \(\rho\) (f) is a rational point or (3) \(\rho\) (f) is a non-degenerate closed segment. The author describes the structure of the set per(f) of periodic points of f and estimates the topological entropy h(f) in each of these three cases separately.
