Unary patterns under permutations
(Elsevier, 2018-06-04)
Thue characterized completely the avoidability of unary patterns. Adding function variables gives a general setting capturing avoidance of powers, avoidance of patterns with palindromes, avoidance of powers under coding, ...
Combinatorics and Algorithmics of Strings
(Dagstuhl Publishing, 2014-03-09)
Strings (aka sequences or words) form the most basic and natural data structure. They occur whenever information is electronically transmitted (as bit streams), when natural language text is spoken or written down (as words ...
For each a > 2 there is an Infinite Binary Word with Critical Exponent a
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2008-08-31)
The critical exponent of an infinite word w is the supremum of all rational numbers α such that w contains an α-power. We resolve an open question of Krieger and Shallit by showing that for each α>2 there is an infinite ...
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 ...
The Complexity of the Simplex Algorithm
(Carleton University, 1984-08)
The thesis begins by giving background in linear programming and Simplex methods. Topics covered include the duality theorem, Lemke's algorithm, and the pathological programs of Klee-Minty.
Because of the bad behaviour ...
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 ...
There are Ternary Circular Square-Free Words of Length n for n ≥ 18
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2002-10-11)
There are circular square-free words of length n on three symbols for n≥18. This proves a conjecture of R. J. Simpson.
Growth rate of binary words avoiding xxxR
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
Abstract
Consider the set of those binary words with no non-empty factors of the form
xxx^R. Du, Mousavi, Schaeffer, and Shallit asked whether this set of words grows
polynomially or exponentially with length. In this ...
A Note on Antichains of Words
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 1995-10-14)
We can compress the word 'banana' as xyyz, where x= 'b', y= 'an',z= 'a'. We say that 'banana' encounters yy. Thus a 'coded' version of yy shows up in 'banana'. The relation 'u encounters w' is transitive, and thus generates ...
