Abstract

This study investigates a multiplicative integer system, an invariant subset of the full shift under the action of the semigroup of multiplicative integers, by using a method that was developed for studying pattern generation problems. The spatial entropy and the Minkowski dimensions of general multiplicative systems can thus be computed. A coupled system is the intersection of a multiplicative integer system and the golden mean shift, which can be decoupled by removing the multiplicative relation set and then performing procedures similar to those applied to a decoupled system. The spatial entropy can be obtained after the remaining error term is shown to approach zero.
