Consider a sequence of bit strings of length d, such that each string differs from the next in a constant number of bits. We call this sequence a quasi-Gray code. We examine the problem of efficiently generating such codes, by considering…

A \emph{square} is a finite non-empty word consisting of two identical adjacent blocks. A word is \emph{square-free} if it does not contain a square as a factor. In any finite word one may delete the repeated block of a square, obtaining…

In this paper we study the enumeration and the construction, according to the number of ones, of particular binary words avoiding a fixed pattern. The growth of such words can be described by particular jumping and marked succession rules.…

A binary string $f$ is a factor of string $u$ if $f$ appears as a sequence of $|f|$ consecutive bits of $u$, where $|f|$ denotes the length of $f$. Generalized Fibonacci cube $Q_{d}(f)$ is the graph obtained from the $d$-cube $Q_{d}$ by…

We study the maximum length of $q$-ary codes as a function of alphabet size, code size, and Singleton defect. For an $(n, M, d)_q$ code with dimension $\kappa = \log_q M \ge 2$ and Singleton defect $s = n - \lceil\kappa\rceil + 1 - d$, we…

In 2011, Fici and Lipt\'ak introduced prefix normal words. A binary word is prefix normal if it has no factor (substring) that contains more occurrences of the letter 1 than the prefix of the same length. Among the open problems regarding…

As a generalization of cyclic codes, quasi-cyclic (QC) codes contain many good linear codes. But quasi-cyclic codes studied so far are mainly limited to one generator (1-generator) QC codes. In this correspondence, 2-generator and…

Frameproof codes are used to fingerprint digital data. It can prevent copyrighted materials from unauthorized use. In this paper, we study upper and lower bounds for $w$-frameproof codes of length $N$ over an alphabet of size $q$. The upper…

In this paper, for any fixed positive integers $t$ and $q>2$, we construct $q$-ary codes correcting a burst of at most $t$ deletions with redundancy $\log n+8\log\log n+o(\log\log n)+\gamma_{q,t}$ bits and near-linear encoding/decoding…

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $u^2=0$, $q=p^n$, $n$ a positive integer and $p$ a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem,…

We study the $k$-Bonacci word over the infinite alphabet $\mathbb{N}$. Since the alphabet is infinite, the usual factor complexity is infinite and does not provide any information. We therefore investigate factor occurrence statistics in…

This paper studies the density of zero and one in subwords of the Fibonacci word with lengths less than thirty and compares them to the densities of their corresponding palindromes. We used computational methods to produce a sufficiently…

Two words $p$ and $q$ are avoided by the same number of length-$n$ words, for all $n$, precisely when $p$ and $q$ have the same set of border lengths. Previous proofs of this theorem use generating functions but do not provide an explicit…

An $n$-bit Gray code is a sequence of all $n$-bit strings such that consecutive strings differ in a single bit. It is well-known that given $\alpha,\beta\in\{0,1\}^n$, an $n$-bit Gray code between $\alpha$ and $\beta$ exists iff the Hamming…

A quasi-Gray code of dimension $n$ and length $\ell$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is a sequence of distinct words $w_1,w_2,\dots,w_\ell$ from $\Sigma^n$ such that any two consecutive words differ in at most $c$ coordinates, for some fixed…
