Let X be a compact space and f be a continuous map from X into itself. The topological entropy of f, h(f), was defined by Adler, Konheim and McAndrew [1]. After that Bowen [4] defined the topological entropy for uniformly continuous maps of metric spaces, and proved that the two entropies coincide when the spaces are compact. The definition of Bowen is useful in calculating entropy of continuous maps.
