A note on the number of squares in a partial word with one hole

Francine Blanchet-Sadri, Robert Mercaş (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

A well known result of Fraenkel and Simpson states that the number of distinct squares in a word of length n is bounded by 2n since at each position there are at most two distinct squares whose last occurrence starts. In this paper, we investigate squares in partial words with one hole, or sequences over a finite alphabet that have a “do not know” symbol or “hole”. A square in a partial word over a given alphabet has the form uv where u is compatible with v, and consequently, such square is...

A variant of the reciprocal super Catalan matrix

Emrah Kılıç, Ilker Akkus, Gonca Kızılaslan (2015)

Special Matrices

Recently Prodinger [8] considered the reciprocal super Catalan matrix and gave explicit formulæ for its LU-decomposition, the LU-decomposition of its inverse, and obtained some related matrices. For all results, q-analogues were also presented. In this paper, we define and study a variant of the reciprocal super Catalan matrix with two additional parameters. Explicit formulæ for its LU-decomposition, LUdecomposition of its inverse and the Cholesky decomposition are obtained. For all results, q-analogues...
