A generator of morphisms for infinite words
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an algorithm which produces, in some cases, infinite words avoiding both large fractional repetitions and a given set of finite words. We use this method to show that all the ternary patterns whose avoidability index was left open in Cassaigne’s thesis are 2-avoidable. We also prove that there exist exponentially many 7 4 + -free ternary words and 7 5 + -free 4-ary words. Finally we give small morphisms for binary words containing only the squares 0, 1 and (01) and for binary words avoiding large squares and fractional repetitions.

The equality problem for infinite words generated by primitive morphisms
We study the equality problem for infinite words obtained by iterating morphisms. In particular, we give a practical algorithm to decide whether or not two words generated by primitive morphisms are equal.
متن کاملOn Quasiperiodic Morphisms
Weakly and strongly quasiperiodic morphisms are tools introduced to study quasiperiodic words. Formally they map respectively at least one or any non-quasiperiodic word to a quasiperiodic word. Considering them both on finite and infinite words, we get four families of morphisms between which we study relations. We provide algorithms to decide whether a morphism is strongly quasiperiodic on fin...
متن کاملPalindromic Richness
In this paper, we study combinatorial and structural properties of a new class of finite and infinite words that are ‘rich’ in palindromes in the utmost sense. A characteristic property of so-called rich words is that all complete returns to any palindromic factor are themselves palindromes. These words encompass the well-known episturmian words, originally introduced by the second author toget...
متن کاملOn stabilizers of infinite words
The stabilizer of an infinite word w over a finite alphabet Σ is the monoid of morphisms over Σ that fix w. In this paper we study various problems related to stabilizers and their generators. We show that over a binary alphabet, there exist stabilizers with at least n generators for all n. Over a ternary alphabet, the monoid of morphisms generating a given infinite word by iteration can be inf...
متن کاملSharp Characterizations of Squarefree Morphisms
Squarefree morphisms, i.e. morphisms that preserve squarefreeness of words, have been a subject of interest since the works of Thue [8]. They are a powerful tool to prove properties on squarefree words and are used in particular to prove the existence of infinite sequences without repetition. The study of squarefree words is connected with cluestions in algebra and game theory, and recentiy sev...
