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.

Binary words avoiding the pattern AABBCABBA

Pascal Ochem (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We show that there are three types of infinite words over the two-letter alphabet {0,1} that avoid the pattern . These types, , , and , differ by the factor complexity and the asymptotic frequency of the letter 0. Type has polynomial factor complexity and letter frequency 1 2 . Type has exponential factor complexity and the frequency of the letter 0 is at least 0.45622 and at most 0.48684. Type is obtained from type ...

On some problems related to palindrome closure

Michelangelo Bucci, Aldo de Luca, Alessandro De Luca, Luca Q. Zamboni (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In this paper, we solve some open problems related to (pseudo)palindrome closure operators and to the infinite words generated by their iteration, that is, standard episturmian and pseudostandard words. We show that if is an involutory antimorphism of , then the right and left -palindromic closures of any factor of a -standard word are also factors of some -standard word. We also introduce the class of pseudostandard words with “seed”, obtained by iterated pseudopalindrome closure...

Transcendence of numbers with an expansion in a subclass of complexity 2 + 1

Tomi Kärki (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We divide infinite sequences of subword complexity into four subclasses with respect to left and right special elements and examine the structure of the subclasses with the help of Rauzy graphs. Let ≥ 2 be an integer. If the expansion in base of a number is an Arnoux-Rauzy word, then it belongs to Subclass I and the number is known to be transcendental. We prove the transcendence of numbers with expansions in the subclasses II and III.
