Episturmian morphisms and a Galois theorem on continued fractions

Jacques Justin — 2005

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We associate with a word w on a finite alphabet A an episturmian (or Arnoux-Rauzy) morphism and a palindrome. We study their relations with the similar ones for the reversal of w . Then when | A | = 2 we deduce, using the sturmian words that are the fixed points of the two morphisms, a proof of a Galois theorem on purely periodic continued fractions whose periods are the reversal of each other.

On a paper by Castelli, Mignosi, Restivo

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Fine and Wilf's theorem has recently been extended to words having three periods. Following the method of the authors we extend it to an arbitrary number of periods and deduce from that a characterization of generalized Arnoux-Rauzy sequences or episturmian infinite words.

Return words in Sturmian and episturmian words

Jacques JustinLaurent Vuillon — 2010

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Considering each occurrence of a word in a recurrent infinite word, we define the set of return words of to be the set of all distinct words beginning with an occurrence of and ending exactly just before the next occurrence of in the infinite word. We give a simpler proof of the recent result (of the second author) that an infinite word is Sturmian if and only if each of its factors has exactly two return words in it. Then, considering episturmian infinite words, which are a natural generalization...

Episturmian words: a survey

Amy GlenJacques Justin — 2009

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

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 connection...
