1. Introduction
1.2 Computation of maximum eigenvalue and spatial entropy 3
Anis a 2n× 2nmatrix, so computing ρ(An) is usually quite difficult when n is large. However, for a class of A2, the recursive formulae for ρ(An) can be computed explicitly, along with a limiting equation to ρ∗ =exp(h(A2)), as in [3]. This class of A2 has the form of A B
The results in [3] are recalled as follows.
Lemma 1.1. Let A and B be non-negative and non-zero m × m matrices, respectively, and α and β are positive numbers. The maximum eigenvalue of
A αB
βB A
is then the maximum eigenvalue of A +p
αβB. (1.13)
Theorem 1.2. Assume that A2 =
A B
Then
λn= αn−1+ βn−1,
where αk and βk satisfy the following recursive relations:
αk+1 = aαk+ bβk, βk+1 = p
(a2αk+ b2βk)(a3αk+ b3βk), for k ≥ 0, and α0 = β0 = 1.
Furthermore, the spatial entropy h(A2) is equal to
logξ∗, where ξ∗ is the maximum root of the following polynomials Q(ξ):
(I) if a2 = a3 = 1,
Q(ξ) ≡ 4ξ2(ξ − a)2+ (γ2− 4δ)(ξ − a)2− γ2ξ2− 2γ(2b − aγ)ξ − (2b − aγ)2, where
γ = b2+ b3 and δ = b2b3. (II) if a2a3 = 0 and a2b3+ a3b2 = 1,
Q(ξ) ≡ ξ3− aξ2− δξ + aδ − b.
Moreover, if a2a3 = 0 and a2b3+ a3b2 = 0, then h(A2) = 0.
The proofs of above two theorems are shown in [3].
2. Three-Symbols Problems
In this section,we focus our study on three-symbols problems. We try to generalize the result of Theorem 1.2 to the three-symbols cases.
2.1. Transition Matrices and Spatial Entropy
By the same reason as two symbols on lattice Z2×2, we take a transition
4
matrix A2 of three symbols on lattice Z2×2 as
The recursive formulae for n+1-th order transition matrices An+1 defined on Z2×(n+1) are
for any n ≥ 2.
The definition of spatial entropy h(A2) of three symbols on lattice Z2×2
is the same as two symbols which can also be proved as h(A2) = lim
n→∞
1
n log ρ(An), (2.4)
see [3].
2.2. Computation of Maximum Eigenvalues and En-tropy
For three symbols, An is a 3n× 3n matrix, so computing the maximum eigenvalue of An (ρ(An)) is harder than it is for two symbols. We begin with the study of A2 of the form
Let λn be the eigenvalue of An, and Un be the corresponding eigenvector of λn,
Assume
un = vn= wn, (2.10)
then (2.9) implies
(An+ Bn+ Cn)un = λnun. (2.11) Conversely, under the assumption (2.10), (2.11) implies (2.9). Therefore, (2.8) and (2.11) are equivalent.
We first prove the following lemma which is a generalization of Lemma 1.1. By the assumption (2.12), (2.13) follows. The proof is complete.
Now, we can prove our first theorem.
7
Theorem 2.2. Assume (2.12) holds, and a + b + c ≥ 1, then
h(A2) = log(a + b + c). (2.14) Proof . Under the assumption (2.12) and by Lemma 2.1,
An+ Bn+ Cn= (a + b + c)
Combining (2.15) with (2.16),
λn = 3(a + b + c)n−1. (2.17) (2.14) follows. The proof is complete.
Remark 2.3. (i) It is of interest to study the case when A2 is of the form (2.5) but (2.12) fails. A lemma like Lemma 1.1 need to be established, some progress has been made.
(ii) Result of Theorem 2.2 also holds for any number of symbols provides that the assumptions like (2.12) hold.
Lemma 2.4. Let A and B be non-negative and non-zero n × n matrices, re-spectively, and a1, a2, a3, and a4 are positive numbers. The maximum
is then the maximum eigenvalue of
a1A +a4+pa24+ 8a2a3
2 B. (2.18)
8
Proof . Consider
a1A − λ a2B a2B a3B a4B − λ a1A a3B a1A a4B − λ
= 0.
There are two cases:
Case I. If |a1A − λ| = 0, it is clear that λ = a1A. and we could simplify it to
|I − {[a1A − a2a3B(a1A − λ)−1B][(a4B − λ) − a2a3B(a1A − λ)−1B]−1}2| = 0.
Then, we have
|I + {[a1A − a2a3B(a1A − λ)−1B][(a4B − λ) − a2a3B(a1A − λ)−1B]−1}| = 0 or |I − {[a1A − a2a3B(a1A − λ)−1B][(a4B − λ) − a2a3B(a1A − λ)−1B]−1}| = 0.
Since A and B are non-negative and a1, a2, a3, and a4 are positive, veri-fying that the maximum eigenvalue λ of
2 B are equal is relatively easy. The proof is complete.
Theorem 2.5. Assume that A2 =
let λn be the largest eigenvalue of
|An− λ| = 0.
9
Then
λn = αn−1+ βn−1, (2.19)
where αk and βk satisfy the following recursive relations:
αk=a1αk−1+ b1βk−1, (2.20)
βk=1
2{(a4αk−1+ b4βk−1) + [(a4αk−1+ b4βk−1)2+
8(a2αk−1+ b2βk−1)(a3αk−1+ b3βk−1)]12}, (2.21) for k = 1, 2, . . . , n − 1, and
α0 = 1, β0 = 2. (2.22)
Furthermore, the spatial entropy h(A2) is equal to logξ∗, where ξ∗ is the maximum root of the following polynomials Q(ξ):
(I) if a1 = b1 = 1,
Q1(ξ) ≡ξ4− (2 + b4)ξ3+ (1 − a4+ 2b4− 2b2b3)ξ2+
[(a4− b4) − 2b2(a3− b3) − 2b3(a2− b2)]ξ − 2(a2− b2)(a3− b3).
(2.23) (II) if a1 = 0, b1 = 1,
Q2(ξ) ≡ ξ4− b4ξ3− (a4+ 2b2b3)ξ2− 2(a2b3+ a3b2)ξ − 2a2a3. (2.24) (III) if a1 = 1, b1 = 0,
Q3(ξ) ≡ ξ2− b4ξ − 2b2b3. (2.25) Proof . Since the structure of A2 is special, it is easy to show that for any k ≥ 2, we get
Hk =
Ak Bk Bk Bk Bk Ak
Bk Ak Bk
, and
Hk+1 =
Ak+1 Bk+1 Bk+1 Bk+1 Bk+1 Ak+1 Bk+1 Ak+1 Bk+1
, here
Ak+1 = Hk A =
a1Ak a2Bk a2Bk
a3Bk a4Bk a1Ak a3Bk a1Ak a4Bk
, (2.26)
10
and
Bk+1 = Hk B =
b1Ak b2Bk b2Bk b3Bk b4Bk b1Ak b3Bk b1Ak b4Bk
, (2.27)
A2 = A and B2 = B. We know that |An+1− λn+1| = 0, so
|An+1+ 2Bn+1− λn+1| = 0. (2.28) Let
α0 = 1 and β0 = 2. (2.29)
By induction on k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n, and using (2.26),(2.27),(2.28) and Lemma 2.4, it is straightforward to derive
|αkAn−k+1+ βkBn−k+1− λn+1| = 0, (2.30) with αk and βk satisfy (2.20) and (2.21). In particular,
αn=a1αn−1+ b1βn−1, (2.31)
βn=1
2{(a4αn−1+ b4βn−1) + [(a4αn−1+ b4βn−1)2+
8(a2αn−1+ b2βn−1)(a3αn−1+ b3βn−1)]12}, (2.32) and
λn+1 = αn+ βn. This proves the first part of the theorem.
The remainder of the proof, demonstrates that h(A2) = logλ∗ where λ∗ is the maximum root of Q(λ). There are three cases:
Case I. From (2.31), if a1 = b1 = 1, we have
βn−1 = αn− αn−1. (2.33)
Substituting (2.33) into (2.21), yields αn+1− αn=1
2{[(a4− b4)αn−1+ b4αn] + [((a4 − b4)αn−1+ b4αn)2+ 8((a2− b2)αn−1+ b2αn)((a3− b3)αn−1+ b3αn)]12}. (2.34) Now, let
ξn= αn αn−1
(2.35)
11
and after dividing (2.34) by αn, we have ξn+1− 1 =1
2{[(a4 − b4)1 ξn
+ b4] + [((a4− b4)1 ξn
+ b4)
2
+ 8((a2− b2) 1
ξn + b2)((a3− b3) 1
ξn + b3)]12}. (2.36) (2.36) can be written as the following iteration map:
ξn+1= G1(ξn), (2.37)
where
G1(ξ) =1 + 1
2{[(a4− b4)1
ξ + b4] + [((a4− b4)1 ξ + b4)
2
+ 8((a2− b2)1
ξ + b2)((a3− b3)1
ξ + b3)]12}. (2.38) We first observe the fixed point ξ∗ of G1(ξ), i.e., ξ∗ = G1(ξ∗), is a root of Q(ξ).
Indeed, by letting ξn= ξn+1= ξ∗ in (2.36), we have ξ∗− 1 =1
2{[(a4− b4)1 ξ∗
+ b4] + [((a4− b4)1 ξ∗
+ b4)
2
+ 8((a2 − b2)1
ξ∗ + b2)((a3− b3)1
ξ∗ + b3)]12},
which gives us Q(ξ∗) = 0. It can be proven that the maximum fixed point of G1(ξ) or the maximum root ξ∗ of Q(ξ) = 0 satisfies 1 ≤ ξ∗ ≤ 2 and
ξn→ ξ∗ as n → ∞. (2.39)
Details are omitted here for brevity. By (2.19),(2.33) and (2.35), we can also prove
λn+1
λn → ξ∗ as n → ∞. (2.40)
Hence, h(T2) = log ξ∗.
Table 3.1 is to evaluate the value of λ∗, where 4a2+2a3+a4+1 = i, 1 ≤ i ≤ 8, and 4b2+ 2b3+ b4+ 1 = j, 1 ≤ j ≤ 8.

Case II. If a1 = 0 and b1 = 1, then, from (2.31), we have
αn= βn−1. (2.41)
Again, substituting (2.41) into (2.21) and letting ξn= ββn
n−1 lead to ξn=1
2{(a4 1
ξn−1 + b4+ [(a4 1
ξn−1 + b4)2+ 8(a2 1
ξn−1 + b2)(a3 1

G2(ξ) =1 2{(a4

ξ + b4+ [(a4

Table 3.2 is to show the value of λ∗, where 4a2+ 2a3+ a4+ 1 = i, 1 ≤ i ≤ 8, and 4b2+ 2b3+ b4+ 1 = j, 1 ≤ j ≤ 8.

Case III. If a1 = 1 and b1 = 0, then, from (2.31), we have

Repeating the above steps, hence we get
ξn = b4+pb24+ 8a2a3

The maximum fixed point ξ∗ of (2.45) is the maximum root of Q(ξ) = 0 in (2.25). The proof is complete.
Table 3.3 is to show the value of λ∗.
3. Spatial Entropy of Cyclic Cases
In this section, we study the spatial entropy of A2 when A2 has certain cyclic structure. Consider Now, we have the following theorem for cyclic A2.
14
Theorem 3.1. Assume A2 is of the form (3.1). Then λ∗ ≡ lim
n→∞λ
1
nn, (3.3)
satisfies the limiting equation Q(λ) as follows:
(I)
A B C limiting equation Q(λ) λ∗
(i) E I J Q2(λ) λ∗2
(ii) E I J0 Q2(λ) λ∗2
(iii) E J I Q2(λ) λ∗2
(iv) E J J0 Q1(λ) λ∗1
(v) E J0 I Q3(λ) λ∗3
(vi) E J0 J Q1(λ) λ∗1
(II)
A B C limiting equation Q(λ) λ∗
(i) I E J Q2(λ) λ∗2
(ii) I E J0 Q1(λ) λ∗1
(iii) I J E Q1(λ) λ∗1
(iv) I J0 E Q2(λ) λ∗2
(III)
A B C limiting equation Q(λ) λ∗
(i) J E I Q3(λ) λ∗3
(ii) J E J0 Q2(λ) λ∗2
(iii) J I E Q1(λ) λ∗1
(iv) J J0 E Q3(λ) λ∗3
(IV)
A B C limiting equation Q(λ) λ∗
(i) J0 E I Q1(λ) λ∗1
(ii) J0 E J Q3(λ) λ∗3
(iii) J0 I E Q3(λ) λ∗3
(iv) J0 J E Q2(λ) λ∗2
where,
Q1(λ) = λ − 1, λ∗1 = 1 Q2(λ) = λ2− λ − 1, λ∗2 = 1+
√ 5
2 ∼= 1.618033988 Q3(λ) = λ3− λ2− λ − 1, λ∗3 ∼= 1.839286755.
Proof of Case(I)(i). Since the structure of A2 is similar to (2.5), it is easy to verify that (2.11) is also right to (3.1) and for any k ≥ 2, we have
Ak =
Ek Ik Jk
Jk Ek Ik Ik Jk Ek
.
15
By (2.11), |An− λn| = 0, so
|En+ In+ Jn− λn| = 0. (3.4) Let
α0 = 1 and β0 = 1. (3.5)
By induction on k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n, and using (2.11), it is straightforward to derive
|αkEn−k+ βkIn−k+ Jn−k − λn| = 0, (3.6) where αk and βk satisfy the following recursive relations:
αk =αk−1+ βk−1, (3.7)
βk =αk−1+ 1, (3.8)
and
λn= 3αn−2+ βn−2+ 1. (3.9) By recursive formulae of (3.7) and (3.8), we get
αn = 5 +√
Substituting (3.10) and (3.11) into (3.9), we have λn = 11 + 5√
The proofs of the following cases is similar to Case(I)(i). The proof is com-plete.
