Abstract: In this paper we compute the non-commutative topological entropy in the sense of Voiculescu for some endomorphisms of stationary inductive limits of circle algebras. These algebras are groupoid C*-algebras, and the endomorphisms restricted to the canonical diagonal are induced by some expansive maps, whose entropies provide a lower bound. For the upper bound, we use a result of Voiculescu, similar to the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai theorem. The same technique is used to compute the entropy of a non-commutative Markov shift.
