Abstract

In contrast with a result of Burago, Ferleger and Kononenko stating that the topological entropy of a compact non-degenerate semi-dispersing billiard on any manifold of non-positive sectional curvature is finite, we give an example of a (degenerate) semi-dispersing billiard with infinite topological entropy.
