Vertical representation of -words
arXiv:1202.5154 · doi:10.1016/j.tcs.2014.11.011
Abstract
We present a new framework for dealing with -words, based on their left and right frontiers. This allows us to give a compact representation of them, and to describe the set of -words through an infinite directed acyclic graph . This graph is defined by a map acting on the frontiers of -words. We show that this map can be defined recursively and with no explicit references to -words. We then show that some important conjectures on -words follow from analogous statements on the structure of the graph .
