Some properties of $k$-bonacci words on infinite alphabet
Abstract
The Fibonacci word on an infinite alphabet was introduced in [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 2017 24(2), 2-52] as a fixed point of the morphism , , . Here, for any integer , we define the infinite -bonacci word on the infinite alphabet as the fixed point of the morphism on the alphabet defined for any and any , as \begin{equation*} \varphi_k(ki+j) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (ki)(ki+j+1) & \text{if } j = 0,\cdots ,k-2,\\ (ki+j+1)& \text{otherwise}. \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} We consider the sequence of finite words , where is the prefix of whose length is the -th -bonacci number. We then provide a recursive formula for the number of palindromes occur in different positions of . Finally, we obtain the structure of all palindromes occurring in and based on this, we compute the palindrome complexity of , for any .
