The sort transform (ST) is a modification of the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT). Both transformations map an arbitrary word of length n to a pair consisting of a word of length n and an index between 1 and n. The BWT sorts all rotation…
We investigate various connections between the clustering for the Burrows-Wheeler transform, a lossless algorithm used in data compression, and languages of interval exchange transformations. We show that a primitive word $u$ clusters for a…
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…

We introduce a variant of de Bruijn words that we call perfect necklaces. Fix a finite alphabet. Recall that a word is a finite sequence of symbols in the alphabet and a circular word, or necklace, is the equivalence class of a word under…

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…
