Palindromic length of words and morphisms in class $\mathcal{P}$

Combinatorics 2018-12-05 v2

Abstract

We study the palindromic length of factors of infinite words fixed by morphisms of the so-called class P\mathcal{P} introduced by Hof, Knill and Simon. We show that it grows at most logarithmically with the length of the factor. For the Fibonacci word and the Thue-Morse word we provide estimates on the constants of the growth. We also construct an infinite word rich in palindromes for which the palindromic length grows as n\sqrt{n}.
