Second eigenvalue of primitive matrix

Let $A$ be a primitive $N\times N$-matrix with positive entries, that is there is $n>0$ such that $(A^n)_{i,j}>0$ for all $i,j$. For brevity, assume the entries consist only of $0$ and $1$. The ...

Show that two matrices are strongly shift equivalent

The following question is from Introduction to dynamical systems, written by Michael Brin and Garrett Stuclk. Given two non-negative integer square matrices $A, B$, we say $A, B$ are elementarily ...

The graph of Rule 110 and vertices degree

Consider the elementary cellular automaton called Rule 110 (famous for being Turing complete): It induces a map $R: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that the binary representation of $R(n)$ is ...

Asymptotic colouring of edges and vertices, and untwisting cocycles

This question regards colourings on edges and vertices on countable directed multigraphs. We start with an example. Let $G=\mathbb Z^2$. We define two functions $a_h$ and $a_v$ from $\mathbb Z^2$ to $\...

Shift on trivalent directed tree, operator and von Neumann algebra

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be the trivalent directed tree, with two parents and one child for each vertex (see below). Let $\mathcal{V}$ be the set of vertices of $\mathcal{T}$ and $H$ be the Hilbert space $\...

Cycles in directed graphs

Let G be a finite directed graph (allowing multiple edges). We define a cycle (as usual) to be a sequence of edges $e_0, e_1, \dots, e_{n-1}$ (up to cyclic permutation) such that the terminal vertex ...

Graph presentation of Lexicographic shifts

Consider a finite alphabet $\{0,1, \ldots, n-1\}$. Let $\Sigma_n = \mathop{\prod}\limits_{j=1}^{\infty}\{0, \ldots n-1\}$ be the set of infinite one sided sequences and $\prec$ the lexicographic ...
