Abstract

We investigate topological entropy of periodic Coven cellular automatas; that is, the maps FB:{0, 1}Z→{0, 1}Z defined by FB(x)i=xi+(xi+j+bj) (mod 2), where B=b1b2br∈{0, 1}r(r≥2), is a periodic word. In particular, we prove that if the minimal period of B is greater than r/2, the topological entropy is log 2.
