Extremal words in morphic subshifts
(Elsevier, 2014-01-22)
Given an infinite word x over an alphabet A, a letter b occurring in
x, and a total order \sigma on A, we call the smallest word with respect to \sigma
starting with b in the shift orbit closure of x an extremal word of ...
It’s okay to be okay too. Why calling out teachers’ “toxic positivity” may backfire

Cyclic Complexity of Some Infinite Words and Generalizations
(Integers, 2018-03)
Cassaigne et al. introduced the cyclic complexity function c_x(n), which gives the number of cyclic conjugacy classes of length-n factors of a word x. We study the behavior of this function for the Fibonacci word f and the ...
The minimal automaton recognizing mN in a linear numeration system
(Integers, 2011-12-02)
We study the structure of automata accepting the greedy representations of N in a wide class of numeration systems. We describe the conditions under which such automata can have more than one strongly connected component ...
Constructing Regular Self-complementary Uniform Hypergraphs
(Journal of Combinatorial Designs, 2011-02-17)
In this paper, we examine the possible orders of t-subset-regular self-complementary k-uniform hypergraphs, which form examples of large sets of two isomorphic t-designs. We reformulate Khosrovshahi and Tayfeh-Rezaie's ...
A family of formulas with reversal of high avoidability index
(World Scientific, 2017)
We present an infinite family of formulas with reversal whose avoidability index is bounded between 4 and 5, and we show that several members of the family have avoidability index 5. This family is particularly interesting ...
Cyclically t-complementary uniform hypergraphs
(European Journal of Combinatorics, 2010-05)
A cyclically t-complementary k-hypergraph is a k-uniform hypergraph with vertex set V and edge set E for which there exists a permutation 2 Sym.V/ such that the sets E; E ; E 2; : : : ; E t1 partition the set of all ...
Characterization of the lengths of binary circular words containing no squares other than 00, 11, and 0101
(2020-05-19)
We characterize exactly the lengths of binary circular words containing no squares other than 00, 11, and 0101.
On avoidability of formulas with reversal
(EDP Sciences, 2018-02-13)
While a characterization of unavoidable formulas (without reversal) is well-known, little
is known about the avoidability of formulas with reversal in general. In this article, we characterize the unavoidable formulas ...
