We introduce transition entropy and periodic entropy for locallycompact subshifts. Finiteness of both characterizes the existenceof a finite generator. Finiteness of the transition entropycharacterizes the existence of a generator with bounded degree.We extend Krieger's embedding theorem and characterize thelocally compact non-dense subsystems of a (compact) mixingshift of finite type.
