Abstract: The generalised random Fibonacci chain is a stochastic extension of the classical Fibonacci substitution and is defined as the rule mapping 0mapsto1 and 1mapsto1i01m−i with probability pi, where pigeq0 with sumi=0mpi=1, and where the random rule is applied each time it acts on a 1. We show that the topological entropy of this object is given by the growth rate of the set of inflated generalised random Fibonacci words.


Meyer sets form an important class of point sets that can be considered as generalisations of lattices. They have recently been studied in connection with mathematical models of quasicrystals. One possibility to define special classes of Meyer sets with entropy is via random inflation rules. In this paper, the author shows that the logarithm of the growth rate of the size of the set of inflated generalised random Fibonacci words equals the topological entropy of the generalised random Fibonacci sequence.
