Let p be a maximal palindrome in a Sturmian word s=ul_1pl_2v so that p is a palindrome and l_1pl_2 is not for letters l_1 and l_2. Let {\alpha}(p,p') be a morphism mapping letters a and b respectively to a^pb and a^p'b, |p-p'|=1. In this…
In this paper we consider the problem of connected edge searching of weighted trees. It is shown that there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for finding optimal connected search strategy for bounded degree trees with arbitrary weights on…
We prove a fix point theorem for monoids of self-embeddings of trees. As a corollary, we obtain a result by Laflamme, Pouzet and Sauer that a tree either contains a subdivided binary tree as a subtree or has a vertex, and edge, an end or…
For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
The starting point of algebraic language theory is that regular languages of finite words are exactly those recognized by finite monoids. This finiteness condition gives rise to a topological space whose points, called profinite words,…
An independent edge set of graph $G$ is a matching, and is maximal if it is not a proper subset of any other matching of $G$. The number of all the maximal matchings of $G$ is denoted by $\Psi(G)$. In this paper, an algorithm to count…
In [A. Frid, S. Puzynina, L.Q. Zamboni, \textit{On palindromic factorization of words}, Adv. in Appl. Math. 50 (2013), 737-748], it was conjectured that any infinite word whose palindromic lengths of factors are bounded is ultimately…
The precise analysis of the variance of the profile of a suffix tree has been a longstanding open problem. We analyze three regimes of the asymptotic growth of the variance of the profile of a suffix tree built from a randomly generated…
In this article, we study subword complexity of colorings of regular trees. We characterize colorings of bounded subword complexity and study Sturmian colorings, which are colorings of minimal unbounded subword complexity. We classify…
We consider the problem of computing the measure of a regular set of infinite binary trees. While the general case remains unsolved, we show that the measure of a language can be computed when the set is given in one of the following three…
Tree sets are posets with additional structure that generalize tree-like objects in graphs, matroids, or other combinatorial structures. They are a special class of abstract separation systems. We study infinite tree sets and how they…
The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…
This work is a contribution to the study of set of the representations of integers in a rational base number system. This prefix-closed subset of the free monoid is naturally represented as a highly non regular tree whose nodes are the…
We introduce regular languages of morphisms in free monoidal categories, with their associated grammars and automata. These subsume the classical theory of regular languages of words and trees, but also open up a much wider class of…
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…
We extend the theory of minimal absent words to (rooted and unrooted) trees, having edges labeled by letters from an alphabet $\Sigma$ of cardinality $\sigma$. We show that the set $\text{MAW}(T)$ of minimal absent words of a rooted (resp.…
In this paper we consider the state complexity of an operation on formal languages, root(L). This naturally entails the discussion of the monoid of transformations of a finite set. We obtain good upper and lower bounds on the state…
The palindromic tree (a.k.a. eertree) is a data structure that provides access to all palindromic substrings of a string. In this paper, we propose a dynamic version of eertree, called double-ended eertree, which supports online operations…
We consider the counting problem of the number of \textit{leaf-labeled increasing trees}, where internal nodes may have an arbitrary number of descendants. The set of all such trees is a discrete representation of the genealogies obtained…
Let $X=(V\!X,E\!X)$ be an infinite, locally finite, connected graph without loops or multiple edges. We consider the edges to be oriented, and $E\!X$ is equipped with an involution which inverts the orientation. Each oriented edge is…
