Abstract
We define the topological multiplicity of an invertible topological system
$(X,T)$
as the minimal number k of real continuous functions
$f_1,\ldots , f_k$
such that the functions
$f_i\circ T^n$
,
$n\in {\mathbb {Z}}$
,
$1\leq i\leq k,$
span a dense linear vector space in the space of real continuous functions on X endowed with the supremum norm. We study some properties of topological systems with finite multiplicity. After giving some examples, we investigate the multiplicity of subshifts with linear growth complexity.
