Ea. Robinson et Aa. Sahin, On the absence of invariant measures with locally maximal entropy for a class of Z(d) shifts of finite type, P AM MATH S, 127(11), 1999, pp. 3309-3318
We prove that for a class of Z(d) shifts of finite type, d >1, any invarian
t measure which is not a measure of maximal entropy can be perturbed a smal
l amount in the weak* topology to an invariant measure of higher entropy. N
amely, there are no invariant measures which are strictly local maxima for
the entropy function.
