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.
This is Us: Latent Profile Analysis of Canadian Teachers’ Burnout during the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Canadian Society for the Study of Education, 2022)
During the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, 1,930 Canadian teachers were surveyed about their burnout and resilience levels, as well as their job demands and resources. Latent profile analysis revealed that teachers ...
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 ...
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}
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 ...
A Ternary Square-free Sequence Avoiding Factors Equivalent to abcacba
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2016-05-27)
We solve a problem of Petrova, finalizing the classification of letter patterns avoidable by ternary square-free words; we show that there is a ternary square-free word avoiding letter pattern xyzxzyx. In fact, we characterize ...
Squares and overlaps in the Thue-Morse sequence and some variants
(EDP Sciences, 2006)
We consider the position and number of occurrences of squares in the Thue-Morse sequence, and show that the corresponding sequences are 2-regular. We also prove that changing any finite but nonzero number of bits in the ...
Words without Near-Repetitions
(Canadian Mathematical Society, 1992-06-01)
We find an infinite word w on four symbols with the following property: Two occurrences of any block in w must be separated by more than the length of the block. That is, in any subword of w of the form xyx, the length of ...
Prediction of the Moisture Content of Eastern Canadian Corn using Measurements of Capacitance and Test Weight
(NRC Research Press, 1989-01)
A statistical regression model for rapid prediction of moisture content based on measurements of dielectric capacitance and test weight was developed for Eastern Canadian corn (Zea mays L.). For 336 samples of the 1986 ...
