On the Entropy of Random Fibonacci Words

The random Fibonacci chain is a generalisation of the classical Fibonacci substitution and is defined as the rule mapping $0\mapsto 1$ and $1 \mapsto 01$ with probability $p$ and $1 \mapsto 10$ with probability $1-p$ for $0<p<1$ and where the random rule is applied each time it acts on a 1. We show that the topological entropy of this object is given by the growth rate of the set of inflated random Fibonacci words.
