Finite repetition threshold for large alphabets

Golnaz Badkobeh, Maxime Crochemore, Michaël Rao (2014)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We investigate the finite repetition threshold for -letter alphabets, ≥ 4, that is the smallest number for which there exists an infinite -free word containing a finite number of -powers. We show that there exists an infinite Dejean word on a 4-letter alphabet (a word without factors of exponent more than 7/5 ) containing only two 7/5 -powers. For a 5-letter alphabet, we show that there exists an infinite Dejean word containing only 60 5/4 -powers, and we conjecture...

An aperiodicity problem for multiwords

Véronique Bruyère, Olivier Carton, Alexandre Decan, Olivier Gauwin, Jef Wijsen (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Multiwords are words in which a single symbol can be replaced by a nonempty set of symbols. They extend the notion of partial words. A word is in a multiword if it occurs in word that can be obtained by selecting one single symbol among the symbols provided in each position of . Motivated by a problem on incomplete databases, we investigate a variant of the pattern matching problem which is to decide whether a word is certain in a multiword . We study the language CERTAIN() of multiwords...

Complexity of infinite words associated with beta-expansions

Christiane Frougny, Zuzana Masáková, Edita Pelantová (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We study the complexity of the infinite word associated with the Rényi expansion of in an irrational base . When is the golden ratio, this is the well known Fibonacci word, which is Sturmian, and of complexity . For such that is finite we provide a simple description of the structure of special factors of the word . When =1 we show that . In the cases when or max} we show that the first difference of the complexity function takes value in for every , and consequently we determine...

Forbidden Factors and Fragment Assembly

F. Mignosi, A. Restivo, M. Sciortino (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In this paper methods and results related to the notion of minimal forbidden words are applied to the fragment assembly problem. The fragment assembly problem can be formulated, in its simplest form, as follows: reconstruct a word from a given set of substrings () of a word . We introduce an hypothesis involving the set of fragments and the maximal length of the minimal forbidden factors of . Such hypothesis allows us to reconstruct uniquely the word from the set in linear time....

The number of binary rotation words

A. Frid, D. Jamet (2014)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We consider binary rotation words generated by partitions of the unit circle to two intervals and give a precise formula for the number of such words of length . We also give the precise asymptotics for it, which happens to be ( ). The result continues the line initiated by the formula for the number of all Sturmian words obtained by Lipatov [39 (1982) 67–84], then independently by Mignosi [82 (1991) 71–84], and others.

On the distribution of characteristic parameters of words

Arturo Carpi, Aldo de Luca (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

For any finite word on a finite alphabet, we consider the basic parameters and of defined as follows: is the minimal natural number for which has no right special factor of length and is the minimal natural number for which has no repeated suffix of length . In this paper we study the distributions of these parameters, here called characteristic parameters, among the words ...

A note on constructing infinite binary words with polynomial subword complexity

Francine Blanchet-Sadri, Bob Chen, Sinziana Munteanu (2013)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Most of the constructions of infinite words having polynomial subword complexity are quite complicated, , sequences of Toeplitz, sequences defined by billiards in the cube, etc. In this paper, we describe a simple method for constructing infinite words over a binary alphabet  {  }  with polynomial subword complexity . Assuming contains an infinite number of ’s, our method is based on the gap function which gives the distances between consecutive ’s. It is known that...
