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...

Sturmian jungle (or garden?) on multiliteral alphabets

L'ubomíra Balková, Edita Pelantová, Štěpán Starosta (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

The properties characterizing sturmian words are considered for words on multiliteral alphabets. We summarize various generalizations of sturmian words to multiliteral alphabets and enlarge the list of known relationships among these generalizations. We provide a new equivalent definition of rich words and make use of it in the study of generalizations of sturmian words based on palindromes. We also collect many examples of infinite words to illustrate differences in the generalized...

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...
