Abstract:
Let and be topological dynamical systems and a factor map. A function is a compensation function for if for all . For a factor code between subshifts of finite type, we analyze the associated relative entropy function and give a necessary condition for the existence of saturated compensation functions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a map to be a saturated compensation function will be provided.
