For each integer n > 1, we present an element in $Q((T^-1))$, having a power series expansion based on an infinite word W(n), over the alphabet ${+1;-1}g and whose continued fraction expansion has a particular pattern which is explicitly…
We describe factor frequencies of the generalized Thue-Morse word t_{b,m} defined for integers b greater than 1, m greater than 0 as the fixed point starting in 0 of the morphism \phi_{b,m} given by \phi_{b,m}(k)=k(k+1)...(k+b-1), where k =…
A finite word $w$ of length $n$ contains at most $n+1$ distinct palindromic factors. If the bound $n+1$ is attained, the word $w$ is called rich. An infinite word $w$ is called rich if every finite factor of $w$ is rich. Let $w$ be a word…
For certain generalized Thue-Morse words t, we compute the "critical exponent", i.e., the supremum of the set of rational numbers that are exponents of powers in t, and determine exactly the occurrences of powers realizing it.
A finite word $w$ is called \emph{rich} if it contains $\vert w\vert+1$ distinct palindromic factors including the empty word. For every finite rich word $w$ there are distinct nonempty palindromes $w_1, w_2,\dots,w_p$ such that…
A border u of a word w is a proper factor of w occurring both as a prefix and as a suffix. The maximal unbordered factor of w is the longest factor of w which does not have a border. Here an O(n log n)-time with high probability (or O(n log…
An abelian square is the concatenation of two words that are anagrams of one another. A word of length $n$ can contain at most $\Theta(n^2)$ distinct factors, and there exist words of length $n$ containing $\Theta(n^2)$ distinct…
In this paper we study the privileged complexity function of the Thue-Morse word. We prove a recursive formula describing this function, and using the formula we show that the function is unbounded and that the values of the function have…
Any finite word $w$ of length $n$ contains at most $n+1$ distinct palindromic factors. If the bound $n+1$ is reached, the word $w$ is called rich. The number of rich words of length $n$ over an alphabet of cardinality $q$ is denoted…
A finite word $w$ with $\vert w\vert=n$ contains at most $n+1$ distinct palindromic factors. If the bound $n+1$ is attained, the word $w$ is called \emph{rich}. Let $\Factor(w)$ be the set of factors of the word $w$. It is known that there…
A \emph{square} is a word of the form $uu$, where $u$ is a nonempty finite word. Given a finite word $w$ of length $n$, let $[w]$ denote the corresponding \emph{circular word}, i.e., the set of all cyclic rotations of $w$. We study the…
A finite word $w$ is called \textit{closed} if it has length at most 1 or it contains a proper factor that occurs both as a prefix and as a suffix but does not have internal occurrences in $w$. An infinite word $u$ is called…
We prove various results about the largest exponent of a repetition in a factor of the Thue-Morse word, when that factor is considered as a circular word. Our results confirm and generalize previous results of Fitzpatrick and Aberkane &…
We consider a new family of factorial languages whose subword complexity grows as $\Theta(n^{\alpha})$, where $\alpha$ is the root of some transcendent equation. Analytical methods and in particular, a corollary of the Wiener-Pitt theorem,…
A {\em square} is a word of the form $uu$. In this paper we prove that for a given finite word $w$, the number of distinct square factors of $w$ is bounded by $|w|-|\Alphabet(w)|+1$, where $|w|$ denotes the length of $w$ and…
We present results on the existence of long arithmetic progressions in the Thue-Morse word and in a class of generalised Thue-Morse words. Our arguments are inspired by van der Waerden's proof for the existence of arbitrary long…
It was asked by E. Szemer\'edi if, for a finite set $A\subset\mathbb{Z}$, one can improve estimates for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$, under the constraint that all integers involved have a bounded number of prime factors -- that is, each…
A finite word $w$ is called \emph{rich} if it contains $\vert w\vert+1$ distinct palindromic factors including the empty word. Let $q\geq 2$ be the size of the alphabet. Let $R(n)$ be the number of rich words of length $n$. Let $d>1$ be a…
We study the palindromic length of factors of infinite words fixed by morphisms of the so-called class $\mathcal{P}$ introduced by Hof, Knill and Simon. We show that it grows at most logarithmically with the length of the factor. For the…
We denote by $P^+(n)$ the largest prime factor of the integer $n$. In 1935, Erd\H os studied the quantity $T_c(x)$ defined by $$ T_c(x)=\big|\big\{p\le x: P^+(p-1)\ge p^c\big\}\big|, $$ and he proved $$ \limsup_{x\rightarrow…
