There Exist Binary Circular 5/2+ Power Free Words of Every Length
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2004-01-23)
We show that there exist binary circular 5/2+ power free words of every length.
Avoidability index for binary patterns with reversal
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2016-02-19)
For every pattern p over the alphabet {x, x^R, y, y^R}, we specify the least k such that p is k-avoidable.
A Characterization of Fractionally Well-Covered Graphs
(Ars Combinatoria, 1991)
A graph is called well-covered if every maximal independent set has the same size. One generalization of independent sets in graphs is that of a fractional cover -- attach nonnegative weights to the vertices and require ...
Transformational Leadership Approaches and Their Influence on Teacher Resilience During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(North American Business Press, 2022)
With stress documented beyond inherent levels in our initial research with Canadian teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic, this case study moves beyond the consideration of individual strategies to reduce burnout, toward ...
Binary Words Containing Infinitely Many Overlaps
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2006-09-22)
We characterize the squares occurring in infinite overlap-free binary words and construct various α power-free binary words containing infinitely many overlaps.
Non repetitive walks in graphs and digraphs
(The University of Calgary, 1987-06)
A word $w$ over alphabet $\Sigma$ is {\em non-repetitive} if we cannot write $w=abbc$, $a,b,c\in\Sigma^*$, $b\ne\epsilon$. That is, no subword of $w$ appears twice in a row in $w$. In 1906, Axel Thue, the Norwegian number ...
Latent Profile Analysis of Manitoban Teachers' Burnout during the COVID-19 Pandemic
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-03)
The Number of Ternary Words Avoiding Abelian Cubes Grows Exponentially
(2004-06-19)
We show that the number of ternary words of length n avoiding abelian cubes grows
faster than r^n, where r = 2^{1/24}
It’s okay to be okay too. Why calling out teachers’ “toxic positivity” may backfire
(Canadian Education Network, 2020)
Automaticity of Primitive Words and Irreducible Polynomials
(Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, 2013)
If L is a language, the automaticity function AL(n) (resp. NL(n)) of L counts the number of states of a smallest deterministic (resp. non-deterministic) finite automaton that accepts a language that agrees with L on all ...
