Perturbing Subshifts of Finite TypeGiven an SFT $Σ$ and a finite set $S$ of finite words, let
$Σ\langle S\rangle$ denote the subshift of $Σ$ that avoids $S$. We
establish a general criterion under which we can bound the entropy perturbation
$h(Σ)-h(Σ\langle S\rangle)$ from above. As an application, we prove
that this entropy difference tends to zero with a sequence of such sets $S_1,
S_2, \dots$ under various assumptions on the $S_i$.
