A subshift is a closed subset of $X^{\mathbb{Z}}$ stable under $T$. Is there a recent survey about the problem of equivalence of subshifts?</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/63435/equivalent-subshifts/63436#63436 Answer by subshift for Equivalent subshifts subshift 2011-04-29T16:26:58Z 2011-04-29T16:26:58Z <p>The paper <em><a href="http://www-users.math.umd.edu/~mmb/open/" rel="nofollow">Open Problems in Symbolic Dynamics</a></em> by Mike Boyle discusses the conjugacy problem for shifts of finite type and sofic shifts.</p> <p>More details can be found in books such as <em><a href="http://www.math.washington.edu/SymbolicDynamics/" rel="nofollow">An Introduction to Symbolic Dynamics and Coding</a></em>.</p>
