摘要
We prove existence of asymptotic entropy of random walks on regular languages over a finite alphabet and we give formulas for it. Furthermore, we show that the entropy varies real-analytically in terms of probability measures of constant support, which describe the random walk. This setting applies, in particular, to random walks on virtually free groups.
