On entropies of block-gluing subshifts

Discrete Mathematics 2020-12-18 v1

Abstract

A subshift XX is called cc-block gluing if for any integer ncn\geq c and any two blocks uu and vv from the language of XX there exists an element of XX which has occurrences of uu and vv at distance nn. In this note we study the topological entropies of cc-block gluing binary one-dimensional subshifts. We define the set RcR_c to be the set of entropies of all cc-block-gluing subshifts, and R=cNRcR=\cup_{c\in \mathbb{N}} R_c. We show that the set RR is dense, while R1R_1 and R2R_2 are not; in particular, they have isolated points. We conjecture that the same holds for any cc.
