    Let \(X\) be a compact metric space, \(f:X\to X\) a continuous and surjective map. Let \(f\) be an Anosov map i.e. its inverse limt \(\sigma_f: X^f\to X^f\) is a hyperbolic homeomorphism. Let \(\text{ent}(f)\) denote the topological entropy of \(f\). The author proves, rather awaited results, that: (i) \(\text{ent} (f)= \lim\sup_{n\to\infty} {1\over n} \text{Fix} (f^n)\); (ii) \(\text{ent} (f)=0\) if and only if \(\text{Per} (f)\) is finite.
