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 ...
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 ...
Words with many palindrome pair factors
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2015-10-30)
Motivated by a conjecture of Frid, Puzynina, and Zamboni, we investigate infinite words with the property that for infinitely many n, every length-n factor is a product of two palindromes. We show that every Sturmian word ...
Cubefree words with many squares
(Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, 2014-05-13)
We construct infinite cubefree binary words containing exponentially many distinct squares of length n . We also show that for every positive integer n , there is a cubefree binary square of length 2n.
Overlap-Free Words and Generalizations
(University of Winnipeg, 2007)
The study of combinatorics on words dates back at least to the beginning of the
20th century and the work of Axel Thue. Thue was the first to give an example of an infinite word over a three letter alphabet that contains ...
Avoiding approximate repetitions with respect to the longest common subsequence distance
(Mathematical Sciences Publishers, 2015-09-17)
Ochem, Rampersad, and Shallit gave various examples of infinite words avoiding what they called approximate repetitions. An approximate repetition is a factor of the form x x', where x and x' are close to being identical. ...
Multi-dimensional sets recognizable in all abstract numeration systems
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
We prove that the subsets of Nd that are S-recognizable for all abstract numeration systems S are exactly the 1-recognizable sets. This generalizes a result of Lecomte and Rigo in the one-dimensional setting.
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 ...
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 ...
Infinite words containing squares at every position
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
Richomme asked the following question: what is the infimum of the real numbers α > 2 such that there exists an infinite word that avoids α-powers but contains arbitrarily large squares beginning at every position? We resolve ...
