Occurrences of palindromes in characteristic Sturmian words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper is concerned with palindromes occurring in characteristic Sturmian words cα of slope α, where α∈(0,1) is an irrational. As cα is a uniformly recurrent infinite word, any (palindromic) factor of cα occurs infinitely many times in cα with ...

On the Entropy and Letter Frequencies of Powerfree Words

open access: yesEntropy, 2008
We review the recent progress in the investigation of powerfree words, with particular emphasis on binary cubefree and ternary squarefree words. Besides various bounds on the entropy, we provide bounds on letter frequencies and consider their empirical ...

AUTOMATIC THEOREM-PROVING IN COMBINATORICS ON WORDS [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, 2012
We describe a technique for mechanically proving certain kinds of theorems in combinatorics on words, using finite automata and a software package for manipulating them. We illustrate our technique by applying it to (a) solve an open problem of Currie and Saari on the lengths of unbordered factors in the Thue-Morse sequence; (b) verify an old result of

BPS operators in N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SO(N) super Yang-Mills theory: plethysms, dominoes and words

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
Permutations and associated algebras allow the construction of half and quarter BPS operators in maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills theory with U(N), SO(N) and Sp(N) gauge groups.

Information theory: Sources, Dirichlet series, and realistic analyses of data structures [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2011
Most of the text algorithms build data structures on words, mainly trees, as digital trees (tries) or binary search trees (bst). The mechanism which produces symbols of the words (one symbol at each unit time) is called a source, in information theory ...

Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation and Incremental Sentence Comprehension: Computational Dependencies during Language Learning as Revealed by Neuronal Oscillations

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
We hypothesize a beneficial influence of sleep on the consolidation of the combinatorial mechanisms underlying incremental sentence comprehension.

Constructing Words with High Distinct Square Densities [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2017
Fraenkel and Simpson showed that the number of distinct squares in a word of length n is bounded from above by 2n, since at most two distinct squares have their rightmost, or last, occurrence begin at each position.

A characterization of fine words over a finite alphabet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
To any infinite word t over a finite alphabet A we can associate two infinite words min (t) and max (t) such that any prefix of min (t) (resp. max (t)) is the lexicographically smallest (resp. greatest) amongst the factors of t of the same length. We say

Finite-Repetition threshold for infinite ternary words [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2011
The exponent of a word is the ratio of its length over its smallest period. The repetitive threshold r(a) of an a-letter alphabet is the smallest rational number for which there exists an infinite word whose finite factors have exponent at most r(a ...

On the Contribution of WORDS to the Field of Combinatorics on Words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We propose some notes about the history and the features of the conference WORDS, our goal being to testify how the conference may be embedded in the development of the field of Combinatorics on Words.
