Computability of topological pressure on compact shift spaces beyond finite type

We investigate the computability (in the sense of computable analysis) of the topological pressure P-top(phi) on compact shift spaces X for continuous potentials phi : X -> R. This question has recently been studied for subshifts of finite type (SFTs) and their factors (sofic shifts). We develop a framework to address the computability of the topological pressure on general shift spaces and apply this framework to coded shifts. In particular, we prove the computability of the topological pressure for all continuous potentials on S-gap shifts, generalised gap shifts, and particular beta-shifts. We also construct shift spaces which, depending on the potential, exhibit computability and non-computability of the topological pressure. We further prove that the generalised pressure function (X, phi) bar right arrow P-top(X, phi vertical bar(X)) is not computable for a large set of shift spaces X and potentials phi. In particular, the entropy map X bar right arrow h(top) (X) is computable at a shift space X if and only if X has zero topological entropy. Along the way of developing these computability results, we derive several ergodic-theoretical properties of coded shifts which are of independent interest beyond the realm of computability.
