Density of Critical Factorizations

Tero Harju, Dirk Nowotka (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We investigate the density of critical factorizations of infinite sequences of words. The density of critical factorizations of a word is the ratio between the number of positions that permit a critical factorization, and the number of all positions of a word. We give a short proof of the Critical Factorization Theorem and show that the maximal number of noncritical positions of a word between two critical ones is less than the period of that word. Therefore, we consider only...

On extremal properties of the Fibonacci word

Julien Cassaigne (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We survey several quantitative problems on infinite words related to repetitions, recurrence, and palindromes, for which the Fibonacci word often exhibits extremal behaviour.

The critical exponent of the Arshon words

Dalia Krieger (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Generalizing the results of Thue (for ) [Norske Vid. Selsk. Skr. Mat. Nat. Kl. (1912) 1–67] and of Klepinin and Sukhanov (for ) [Discrete Appl. Math. (2001) 155–169], we prove that for all ≥ 2, the critical exponent of the Arshon word of order is given by (3–2)/(2–2), and this exponent is attained at position 1.
