Abstract: An asymmetric-RLL

(d_{1}, k_{1}, d_{0}, k_{0})

system is a subshift of

{0, 1}^{m a t h b b Z}

with run of

1

and

0

restricted to

S = [d_{1}, k_{1}] s u b s e t e q m a t h b b N_{0} = m a t h b b N c u p 0

and

S^{'} = [d_{0}, k_{0}] s u b s e t e q m a t h b b N_{0}

respectively. We extend this concept to the case when

S

and

S^{'}

are arbitrary subsets of

m a t h b b N_{0}

and we call it a

(S, S^{'})

-gap shift. Moreover, for

i = 1, 2

, if

X_{i}

is a synchronized system generated by

V_{i} = v^{i} a l p h a_{i} : a l p h a_{i} v^{i} a l p h a_{i} i n m a t h c a l B (X_{i}), a l p h a_{i} o t s u b s e t e q v^{i}

where

a l p h a_{i}

is a synchronizing word for

X_{i}

, then a natural generalization of

(S, S^{'})

-gap shifts is a coded system

Z

generated by

v^{1} a l p h a_{1} v^{2} a l p h a_{2} : v^{i} a l p h a_{i} i n V_{i}, i = 1, 2

and called the intertwined system. We investigate the dynamical properties of

Z

with respect to

X_{1}

and

X_{2}

.
