Morphisms fixing words associated with exchange of three intervals

Petr Ambrož, Zuzana Masáková, Edita Pelantová (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We consider words coding exchange of three intervals with permutation (3,2,1), here called 3iet words. Recently, a characterization of substitution invariant 3iet words was provided. We study the opposite question: what are the morphisms fixing a 3iet word? We reveal a narrow connection of such morphisms and morphisms fixing Sturmian words using the new notion of amicability.

Standard factors of Sturmian words

Gwénaël Richomme, Kalle Saari, Luca Q. Zamboni (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Among the various ways to construct a characteristic Sturmian word, one of the most used consists in defining an infinite sequence of prefixes that are standard. Nevertheless in any characteristic word , some standard words occur that are not prefixes of . We characterize all standard words occurring in any characteristic word (and so in any Sturmian word) using firstly morphisms, then standard prefixes and finally palindromes.

Episturmian words: a survey

Amy Glen, Jacques Justin (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In this paper, we survey the rich theory of infinite which generalize to any finite alphabet, in a rather resembling way, the well-known family of on two letters. After recalling definitions and basic properties, we consider that allow for a deeper study of these words. Some properties of factors are described, including factor complexity, palindromes, fractional powers, frequencies, and return words. We also consider lexicographical properties of episturmian words, as well as their...

On Christoffel classes

Jean-Pierre Borel, Christophe Reutenauer (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We characterize conjugation classes of Christoffel words (equivalently of standard words) by the number of factors. We give several geometric proofs of classical results on these words and sturmian words.
