Extreme Palindromes

open access: yesThe American Mathematical Monthly, 2008

We count RP words of given length over a finite alphabet and RP compositions of an integer. We use the same method to determine the parity of the Catalan numbers.

Abstract The apparently parlous state of public services in advanced liberal democracies has become a hot topic, nowhere more so than in ‘broken Britain’.
