Latin Square Thue-Morse Sequences are Overlap-Free
نویسنده
چکیده
We define a morphism based upon a Latin square that generalizes the Thue-Morse morphism. We prove that fixed points of this morphism are overlap-free sequences, generalizing results of Allouche Shallit and Frid.

Subword complexity and power avoidance
We begin a systematic study of the relations between subword complexity of infinite words and their power avoidance. Among other things, we show that – the Thue-Morse word has the minimum possible subword complexity over all overlapfree binary words and all (73)-power-free binary words, but not over all ( 7 3) +-power-free binary words; – the twisted Thue-Morse word has the maximum possible sub...
متن کاملNondeterministic Automatic Complexity of Overlap-Free and Almost Square-Free Words
Shallit and Wang studied deterministic automatic complexity of words. They showed that the automatic Hausdorff dimension I(t) of the infinite Thue word satisfies 1/3 6 I(t) 6 1/2. We improve that result by showing that I(t) = 1/2. We prove that the nondeterministic automatic complexity AN (x) of a word x of length n is bounded by b(n) := bn/2c+ 1. This enables us to define the complexity defici...
متن کاملSquares and overlaps in the Thue-Morse sequence and some variants
We consider the position and number of occurrences of squares in the Thue-Morse sequence, and show that the corresponding sequences are 2-regular. We also prove that changing any finite but nonzero number of bits in the Thue-Morse sequence creates an overlap, and any linear subsequence of the Thue-Morse sequence (except those corresponding to decimation by a power of 2) contains an overlap. Mat...
متن کامل-powers and the Thue-Morse morphism
In 1982, Séébold showed that the only overlap-free binary words that are the fixed points of non-identity morphisms are the Thue-Morse word and its complement. We strengthen Séébold’s result by showing that the same result holds if the term ‘overlapfree’ is replaced with ‘ 3 -power-free’. Furthermore, the number 7 3 is best possible.
متن کاملSimilarity density of the Thue-Morse word with overlap-free infinite binary words
We consider a measure of similarity for infinite words that generalizes the notion of asymptotic or natural density of subsets of natural numbers from number theory. We show that every overlap-free infinite binary word, other than the Thue-Morse word t and its complement t, has this measure of similarity with t between 1 4 and 3 4 . This is a partial generalization of a classical 1927 result of...
