On the palindromic decomposition of binary words

Combinatorics 2011-05-20 v1

Abstract

We prove a precise formula for the minimal number K(n) such that every binary word of length nn can be divided into K(n) palindromes. Also we estimate the average number \olK(n)\ol K(n) of palindromes composing a random binary word of the length n.
