Does Google assign Pagerank to those internal anchors?
No. By specification, browsers don't even send a request to the server for anchor links (on the same page). There is no reason to suspect that any search engine would take anchor links into account.

Next question:

I am on the services age of my site. For an appropriate navigation I need to have 3 links to my homepage.

1. In the logo.
2. In the main navigation.
3. In the breadcrumbs.

Now. If 3 links are pointing to the same page, won't I have a leak of PR?

That is all I would like to know, and then I am coming with more details.

Thanks.
This goes to the 1 page 1 vote concept. A page can only vote for another page once, so when the spider builds its list of pages that are linked to (and thus which should receive pagerank) duplicates are removed. Every page that is linked to receives the same portion of pagerank, regardless of how many actual links there are to the destination page.

However, because of this merging, there could be dilution of keywords. If you have two links with different link text, each keyword might give the target page less value.
