Repetition avoidance has been studied since Thue's work. In this paper, we considered another type of repetition, which is called pseudo-power. This concept is inspired by Watson-Crick complementarity in DNA sequence and is defined over an…
This work considers a natural generalization of primitivity with respect to a language. Given a language $L$, a nonempty word $w$ is said to be $L$-primitive if $w$ is not a proper power of any word in $L$. After ascertaining the number of…
In this work, we explore the concept of Watson-Crick conjugates, also known as $\theta$-conjugates (where $\theta$ is an antimorphic involution), of words and languages. This concept extends the classical idea of conjugates by incorporating…
Given an involutive automorphism $\theta$ of a Coxeter system $(W,S)$, let $\mathfrak{I}(\theta) \subseteq W$ denote the set of twisted involutions. We provide a minimal set of moves that can be added to the braid moves, in order to connect…
A DNA string is a Watson-Crick (WK) palindrome when the complement of its reverse is equal to itself. The Watson-Crick mapping $\theta$ is an involution that is also an antimorphism. $\theta$-conjugates of a word is a generalisation of…
Given a (finite or infinite) subset $X$ of the free monoid $A^*$ over a finite alphabet $A$, the rank of $X$ is the minimal cardinality of a set $F$ such that $X \subseteq F^*$. A submonoid $M$ generated by $k$ elements of $A^*$ is…
Let $A$ be a finite or countable alphabet and let $\theta$ be literal (anti)morphism onto $A^*$ (by definition, such a correspondence is determinated by a permutation of the alphabet). This paper deals with sets which are invariant under…
In the algebraic theory of codes and formal languages, the set $Q$ of all primitive words over some alphabet $\zi $ has received special interest. With this survey article we give an overview about relevant research to this topic during the…
Given a (finite or infinite) subset $X$ of the free monoid $A^*$ over a finite alphabet $A$, the rank of $X$ is the minimal cardinality of a set $F$ such that $X \subseteq F^*$. We say that a submonoid $M$ generated by $k$ elements of $A^*$…
We focus on $\Theta$-rich and almost $\Theta$-rich words over a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$, where $\Theta$ is an involutive antimorphism over $\mathcal{A}^*$. We show that any recurrent almost $\Theta$-rich word $\uu$ is an image of a…
This article provides a reminder of some properties of primitive words and the morphisms that preserve them. Their proofs, which I have more or less revised, are included. This makes the article almost self-contained. I also contribute by…
Let $w=w(x_1,\ldots,x_r)$ be a lower central word or a derived word. We show that the word $w(u_1,\ldots,u_r)$ is concise whenever $u_1,\ldots,u_r$ are non-commutator words in disjoint sets of variables, thus proving a generalized version…
The primitive equations in a 3D infinite layer domain are considered with linearly growing initial data in the horizontal direction, which illustrates the global atmospheric rotating or straining flows. On the boundaries, Dirichlet, Neumann…
We consider solutions of the word equation $X_1^2 \dotsm X_n^2 = (X_1 \dotsm X_n)^2$ such that the squares $X_i^2$ are minimal squares found in optimal squareful infinite words. We apply a method developed by the second author for studying…
We discuss several two-dimensional generalizations of the familiar Lyndon-Schutzenberger periodicity theorem for words. We consider the notion of primitive array (as one that cannot be expressed as the repetition of smaller arrays). We…
We study the asymptotics and fine-scale behavior of quantitative combinatorial measures of infinite words and related dynamical and algebraic structures. We construct infinite recurrent words $w$ whose complexity functions $p_w(n)$ are…
Let A be a finite or countable alphabet and let $\theta$ be a literal (anti-)automorphism onto A * (by definition, such a correspondence is determinated by a permutation of the alphabet). This paper deals with sets which are invariant under…
A word $w$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is a Lyndon word if there exists an order defined on $\Sigma$ for which $w$ is lexicographically smaller than all of its conjugates (other than itself). We introduce and study \emph{universal Lyndon…
We study the properties of the uncountable set of Stewart words. These are Toeplitz words specified by infinite sequences of Toeplitz patterns of the form $\alpha\beta\gamma$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ is any permutation of the symbols…
Words in some natural languages can have a composite structure. Elements of this structure include the root (that could also be composite), prefixes and suffixes with which various nuances and relations to other words can be expressed.…
