Abstract

Let T(n,k)\textbf{T}(n,k) be the set of strings of length nn over the alphabet Σ={1,2,,k}\Sigma=\{1,2,\ldots,k\}. A universal cycle for T(n,k)\textbf{T}(n,k) can be constructed using a greedy algorithm: start with the string knk^n, and continually append the least symbol possible without repeating a substring of length nn. This construction also creates universal cycles for some subsets ST(n,k)\textbf{S}\subseteq\textbf{T}(n,k); we will classify all such subsets that are closed under rotations.
