A word over an ordered alphabet is said to be clustering if identical letters appear adjacently in its Burrows-Wheeler transform. Such words are strictly related to (discrete) interval exchange transformations. We use an extended version of…

We characterize words which cluster under the Burrows-Wheeler transform as those words $w$ such that $ww$ occurs in a trajectory of an interval exchange transformation, and build examples of clustering words.

The notion of Wheeler languages is rooted in the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT), one of the most central concepts in data compression and indexing. The BWT has been generalized to finite automata, the so-called Wheeler automata, by Gagie…

We prove that for every integer $n > 0$ and for every alphabet $\Sigma_k$ of size $k \geq 3$, there exists a necklace of length $n$ whose Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is completely unclustered, i.e., it consists of exactly $n$ runs with…

We characterize the clustering of a word under the Burrows-Wheeler transform in terms of the resolution of a bounded number of bispecial factors belonging to the language generated by all its powers. We use this criterion to compute, in…
