We study the relation between the palindromic and factor complexity of infinite words. We show that for uniformly recurrent words one has P(n)+P(n+1) \leq \Delta C(n) + 2, for all n \in N. For a large class of words it is a better estimate…
Quasi-Sturmian words, which are infinite words with factor complexity eventually $n+c$ share many properties with Sturmian words. In this paper, we study the quasi-Sturmian colorings on regular trees. There are two different types, bounded…
We characterize the words that can be mapped to arbitrarily high powers by injective morphisms. For all other words, we prove a linear upper bound for the highest power that they can be mapped to, and this bound is optimal up to a constant…
The complexity of an infinite word can be measured in several ways, the two most common measures being the subword complexity and the abelian complexity. In 2015, Rigo and Salimov introduced a family of intermediate complexities indexed by…
We consider avoiding squares and overlaps over the natural numbers, using a greedy algorithm that chooses the least possible integer at each step; the word generated is lexicographically least among all such infinite words. In the case of…
A Sturmian word is a map W from the natural numbers into {0,1} for which the set of {0,1}-vectors F_n(W):={(W(i),W(i+1),...,W(i+n-1))^T : i \ge 0} has cardinality exactly n+1 for each positive integer n. Our main result is that the volume…
Existential rules are a positive fragment of first-order logic that generalizes function-free Horn rules by allowing existentially quantified variables in rule heads. This family of languages has recently attracted significant interest in…
As in the $(k,l)$-RSK (Robinson-Schensted-Knuth) of [1], other super-RSK algorithms can be applied to sequences of variables from the set $\{t_1,...,t_k,u_1,...,u_l\}$, where $t_1<...<t_k$, and $u_1<...<u_l$. While the $(k,l)$-RSK of [1] is…
Motivated by applications in the theory of numeration systems and recognizable sets of integers, this paper deals with morphic words when erasing morphisms are taken into account. Cobham showed that if an infinite word $w =g(f^\omega(a))$…
In combinatorics on words, the well-studied factor complexity function $\rho_{\infw{x}}$ of a sequence $\infw{x}$ over a finite alphabet counts, for every nonnegative integer $n$, the number of distinct length-$n$ factors of $\infw{x}$. In…
Prefix normal words are binary words that have no factor with more $1$s than the prefix of the same length. Finite prefix normal words were introduced in [Fici and Lipt\'ak, DLT 2011]. In this paper, we study infinite prefix normal words…
The present work pursues the aim to draw attention to unique possibilities of the skew-symmetric differential forms. At present the theory of skew-symmetric exterior differential forms that possess invariant properties has been developed.…
We answer a question of Harju: An infinite square-free ternary word with an $n$-stem factorization exists for any $n\ge 13$. We show that there are uniform ternary morphisms of length $k$ for every $k\ge 23$. This resolves almost completely…
We study substitutive systems generated by nonprimitive substitutions and show that transitive subsystems of substitutive systems are substitutive. As an application we obtain a complete characterisation of the sets of words that can appear…
Scattered factor (circular) universality was firstly introduced by Barker et al. in 2020. A word $w$ is called $k$-universal for some natural number $k$, if every word of length $k$ of $w$'s alphabet occurs as a scattered factor in $w$; it…
Finite-state independence is a robust notion of algorithmic independence for infinite words. It was introduced for general infinite words by Becher, Carton, and Heiber via deterministic asynchronous two-tape finite automata. \'Alvarez,…
In the paper, we study behavior of discrete dynamical systems (automata) w.r.t. transitivity; that is, speaking loosely, we consider how diverse may be behavior of the system w.r.t. variety of word transformations performed by the system:…
For a given language $L$, we study the languages $X$ such that for all distinct words $u, v \in L$, there exists a word $x \in X$ that appears a different number of times as a factor in $u$ and in $v$. In particular, we are interested in…
The problem we consider is the following: Given an infinite word $w$ on an ordered alphabet, construct the sequence $\nu_w=(\nu[n])_n$, equidistributed on $[0,1]$ and such that $\nu[m]<\nu[n]$ if and only if $\sigma^m(w)<\sigma^n(w)$, where…
We consider transition to strong turbulence in an infinite fluid stirred by a gaussian random force. The transition is {\bf defined} as a first appearance of anomalous scaling of normalized moments of velocity derivatives (dissipation…
