Subshift of Finite Type - Zeta Function

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:
