A Counterexample to a Question of Hof, Knill and Simon

چکیده

In this article, we give a negative answer to a question of Hof, Knill and Simon (1995) concerning purely morphic sequences obtained from primitive morphism containing an infinite number of palindromes. Their conjecture states that such palindromic sequences arise from substitutions that are in class P. The conjecture was proven for the binary alphabet by B. Tan in 2007. We give here a counterexample for a ternary alphabet.

Mirror substitutions and palindromic sequences

By introducing the notion of mirror substitution, we show that, given a substitutive sequence over two letters, it is palindromic (that is, it contains arbitrarily long palindromes) if and only if its language is mirror-invariant (that is, it is closed under the mirror image map). Then we solve a question of Hof, Knill and Simon in the 2-letter case, and also, by constructing a counterexample, ...

. C O ] 1 4 Ju n 20 01 Palindrome complexity

We study the palindrome complexity of infinite sequences on finite alphabets, i.e., the number of palindromic factors (blocks) of given length occurring in a given sequence. We survey the known results and obtain new results for some sequences, in particular for Rote sequences and for fixed points of primitive morphisms of constant length belonging to “class P” of Hof-Knill-Simon. We also give ...

بررسی عکس‌العمل گونۀ Frankenia hirsuta به گرادیان‌های محیطی در مراتع شوره‌زار اینچه‌برون استان گلستان با استفاده از تابع HOF

Frankenia hirsuta is a perennial halophyte species playing an important role in forage production in Incheboron, Golestan Province. Examining the ecological niche of this species in rangeland ecosystems of Incheboron can predict their response to environmental factors and the effective management. The objective of this study was to investigate the response of Frankenia hirsuta species to some e...

Palindromic sequences generated from marked morphisms

Fixed points u = φ(u) of marked and primitive morphisms φ over arbitrary alphabet are considered. We show that if u is palindromic, i.e., its language contains infinitely many palindromes, then some power of φ has a conjugate in class P. This class was introduced by Hof, Knill and Simon (1995) in order to study palindromic morphic words. Our definitions of marked and well-marked morphisms are m...
