About this ebook

The purpose of this work is to prove a theorem for topological entropy analogous to Ornstein's result for measure entropy. For this a natural class of dynamical systems is needed to play the same role for topological entropy as the Bernoulli shifts do for measure entropy. Fortunately there is just such a class--the topological Markov shifts. The main result of this paper is that topological entropy along with another number, called the ergodic period, is a complete set of invariants under this new equivalence relation for the class of topological Markov shifts.
