Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference, Symbolic Dynamics and its Applications, held at Yale University in the summer of 1991 in honour of Roy L. Adler on his sixtieth birthday. The conference focused on symbolic dynamics and its applications to other fields, including: ergodic theory, smooth dynamical systems, information theory, automata theory, and statistical mechanics. Featuring a range of contributions from some of the leaders in the field, this volume presents an excellent overview of the subject.
