Zeta Function
The Artin–Mazur zeta function is defined as the formal power series
where Fix(Tn) is the set of fixed points of the n-fold shift. It has a product formula
where γ runs over the closed orbits. For subshifts of finite type, the zeta function is a rational function of z:

Famous quotes containing the word function:
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
