Abstract

We investigate computable subshifts and the connection with effective symbolic dynamics. It is shown that a decidable @P"1^0 class P is a subshift if and only if there is a computable function F mapping 2^N to 2^N such that P is the set of itineraries of elements of 2^N. A @P"1^0 subshift is constructed which has no computable element. We also consider the symbolic dynamics of maps on the unit interval.
