The asymptotic number of prefix normal words

Combinatorics 2019-03-20 v1

Abstract

We show that the number of prefix normal binary words of length nn is 2nΘ((logn)2)2^{n-\Theta((\log n)^2)}. We also show that the maximum number of binary words of length nn with a given fixed prefix normal form is 2nO(nlogn)2^{n-O(\sqrt{n\log n})}.
