Abstract

This paper discusses some properties of the topological entropy systems generated by polynomials of degree d in their Hubbard tree. An optimization of Thurston's core entropy algorithm is developed for a family of polynomials of degree d.

Keywords: Hubbard tree; Thurston’s algorithm; core entropy; external rays.
