Abstract
We introduce a novel approach, inspired from the theory of renewal processes, to determine the configurational entropy of ensembles of constrained configurations of particles on a one-dimensional lattice. The proposed method can deal with all local rules involving only the lengths of clusters of occupied and empty sites. Within this scope, this method is both more systematic and easier to implement than the transfer-matrix approach. It is illustrated in detail on the k-mer deposition model and on ensembles of trapped Rydberg atoms with blockade range b.
