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.

Skeleton Cave, Leigh Woods, Bristol
(University of Bristol Spelaeological Society, 2017)
An account is given of the discovery and excavation of this small cave in the 1960s. It is recorded that archaeological finds were made, but of these, only a single human mandible can now be traced. Radiocarbon dating shows ...

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, ...
Extremal Infinite Overlap-Free Binary Words
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 1998-05-03)
Let t be the infinite fixed point, starting with 1, of the morphism μ:0→01, 1→10. An infinite word over {0,1} is said to be overlap-free if it contains no factor of the form axaxa, where a∈{0,1} and x∈{0,1}∗. We prove that ...
Suffix conjugates for a class of morphic subshifts
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-09)
Let A be a finite alphabet and f: A^* --> A^* be a morphism with an iterative fixed point f^\omega(\alpha), where \alpha{} is in A. Consider the subshift (X, T), where X is the shift orbit closure of f^\omega(\alpha) and ...
