A diffeomorphism f of the disk has a periodic orbit O, and the paper considers the minimal topological entropy l ( f , O) in the isotopy class of f with respect to this orbit. The structure of the periodic orbits with l ( f , O) = 0 has been studied lately and is now well understood. For l ( f , O) non‐zero, the paper obtains a lower bound of l ( f , O) that depends only on the period of O and which improves previously known estimates. This result is a consequence of a stronger bound in the case where the isotopy class is pseudo‐Anosov. It is obtained by studying the induced dynamics on a graph.
