Abstract
For any infinite word on a finite alphabet , the complexity function of is the sequence counting, for each non-negative , the number of words of length on the alphabet that are factors of the infinite word and the the entropy of is the quantity . For any given function with exponential growth, Mauduit and Moreira introduced in [MM17] the notion of word entropy and showed its links with fractal dimensions of sets of infinite sequences with complexity function bounded by . The goal of this work is to give an algorithm to estimate with arbitrary precision from finitely many values of .
