Combinatoire autour des mots sturmiens

We state some new properties on sturmian words and classify words which have, for any non-zero integer n, exactly n+2 subwords of length n. We also introduce notion of insertion k by k on in nite words and we give the complexity function's formula of words got by applying the insertion on sturmian words.
