Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of a generalized Markov shift

In this paper we calculate Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy $h_M(S)$ of the generalized Markov shift associated with a contractive Markov system (CMS) \cite{Wer1} using the coding map constructed in \cite{Wer3}. We show that \[h_M(S)=-\sum\limits_{e\in E}\int\limits_{K_{i(e)}} p_e\log p_ed\mu\] where $\mu$ is a unique invariant Borel probability measure of the CMS. I. Werner, Contractive Markov systems, J.
