Some properties of topological pressure on cellular automata

This paper investigates the ergodicity and the power rule of the topological pressure of a cellular automaton. If a cellular automaton is either leftmost or rightmost permutive (due to the terminology given by Hedlund [Math. Syst. Theor. 3, 320-375, 1969]), then it is ergodic with respect to the uniform Bernoulli measure. More than that, the relation of topological pressure between the original cellular automaton and its power rule is expressed in a closed form. As an application, the topological pressure of a linear cellular automaton can be computed explicitly.
