It is shown that there exist finitely generated infinite simple groups of infinite commutator width and infinite square width on which there exists no stably unbounded conjugation-invariant norm, and in particular stable commutator length…
In 2019, B\'ona and Smith introduced the notion of \emph{strong pattern avoidance}, that is, a permutation and its square both avoid a given pattern. In this paper, we enumerate the set of permutations $\pi$ which not only strongly avoid…
In this paper we study the enumeration and the construction of particular binary words avoiding the pattern $1^{j+1}0^j$. By means of the theory of Riordan arrays, we solve the enumeration problem and we give a particular succession rule,…
A \emph{tangram} is a word in which every letter occurs an even number of times. Such word can be cut into parts that can be arranged into two identical words. The minimum number of cuts needed is called the \emph{cut number} of a tangram.…
Here is a square problem: in a unit square, is there a point with four rational distances to the vertices? A probability argument suggests a negative answer. This paper proves several special cases of the square problem: if the point sits…
The twin primes conjecture is a very old problem. Tacitly it is supposed that the primes it deals with are finite. In the present paper we consider three problems that are not related to finite primes but deal with infinite integers. The…
An efficient, when compared to exhaustive enumeration, algorithm for computing the number of square-free words of length $n$ over the alphabet $\{a, b, c\}$ is presented.
In this paper, we study additively indecomposable quadratic forms over real biquadratic and simplest cubic fields. In particular, we show that over these fields, we can always find such a classical form in 2 variables, which differs from…
The pattern avoidance problem seeks to construct a set $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with large dimension that avoids a prescribed pattern. Examples of such patterns include three-term arithmetic progressions (solutions to $x_1 - 2x_2 + x_3 =…
Improved upper and lower bounds on the number of square-free ternary words are obtained. The upper bound is based on the enumeration of square-free ternary words up to length 110. The lower bound is derived by constructing generalised…
We study a conjecture linking ultimate periodicity of infnite words to the existence of colorings on finite words avoiding monochromatic factorisation of suffixes, with the extra condition that the ordered concatenation of elements of this…
We show that there are infinitely many square numbers , which are constrocted by putting two square numbers together , that non of them are divisible by $10$ . We also investigate the interesting properties of some square numbers.
A shuffle square is a word consisting of two shuffled copies of the same word. For instance, the Turkish word $\mathtt{\color{red}{ik}\color{blue}{i}\color{red}{li}\color{blue}{kli}}$ (binary in English) is a shuffle square, as it can be…
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…
The hypercube of dimension n is the graph whose vertices are the 2^n binary words of length n, and there is an edge between two of them if they have Hamming distance 1. We consider an edit distance based on swaps and mismatches, to which we…
We characterize binary words that have exactly two unbordered conjugates and show that they can be expressed as a product of two palindromes.
A word is "crucial" with respect to a given set of "prohibited words" (or simply "prohibitions") if it avoids the prohibitions but it cannot be extended to the right by any letter of its alphabet without creating a prohibition. A "minimal…
A square is a concatenation of two identical words, and a word $w$ is said to have a square $yy$ if $w$ can be written as $xyyz$ for some words $x$ and $z$. It is known that the ratio of the number of distinct squares in a word to its…
We use results on Dyck words and lattice paths to derive a formula for the exact number of binary words of a given length with a given minimal abelian border length, tightening a bound on that number from Christodoulakis et al. (Discrete…
This note is an attempt to attack a conjecture of Fraenkel and Simpson stated in 1998 concerning the number of distinct squares in a finite word. By counting the number of (right-)special factors, we give an upper bound of the number of…
