Abstract

In this short note, we first associate a new simple undirected graph with a given word over an ordered alphabet of nn-letters. We will call it the Lyndon graph of that word. Then, we introduce the concept of the Lyndon-word representable graph as a graph isomorphic to a Lyndon graph of some word. Then, we introduce the generalized Stirling cycle number S(N;n,k)S(N;n,k) as the number words of length NN with kk distinct Lydon words in their Lyndon factorization over an ordered alphabet of nn-letters . Finally, we conclude the paper with several interesting open questions and conjectures for interested audiences.
