On Directional Entropy of a \mathbb{Z}^{2}-Action

Publication date 11 November 2005

Abstract: Consider the cellular automata (CA) of

m a t h b b Z^{2}

-action

P h i

on the space of all doubly infinite sequences with values in a finite set

m a t h b b Z_{r}

,

r g e q 2

determined by cellular automata

T_{F [- k, k]}

with an additive automaton rule

F (x_{n - k}, ..., x_{n + k}) = s u m l i m i t s_{i = - k}^{k} a_{i} x_{n + i} (m o d r)

. It is investigated the concept of the measure theoretic directional entropy per unit of length in the direction

o m e g a_{0}

. It is shown that

h_{m u} (T_{F [- k, k]}^{u}) = u h_{m u} (T_{F [- k, k]})

,

h_{m u} (P h i^{u}) = u h_{m u} (P h i)

and

h_{v e c v} (P h i^{u}) = u h_{v e c v} (P h i)

for

v e c v i n m a t h b b Z^{2}

where

h

is the measure-theoretic entropy.
