Palindromes in starlike trees

Amy Glen, Jamie Simpson, W. F. Smyth

In this note, we obtain an upper bound on the maximum number of distinct non-empty palindromes in starlike trees. This bound implies, in particular, that there are at most dis…

More properties of the Fibonacci word on an infinite alphabet

Amy Glen, Jamie Simpson, W. F. Smyth

Recently the Fibonacci word on an infinite alphabet was introduced by [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 24-2 (2017) #P2.52] as a fixed point of the morphism $ϕ: (2i) \…

Counting Lyndon factors

Amy Glen, Jamie Simpson, W. F. Smyth

In this paper, we determine the maximum number of distinct Lyndon factors that a word of length can contain. We also derive formulas for the expected total number of Lyndon fac…

The total run length of a word

Amy Glen, Jamie Simpson

A run in a word is a periodic factor whose length is at least twice its period and which cannot be extended to the left or right (by a letter) to a factor with greater period. In r…

Extremal properties of (epi)Sturmian sequences and distribution modulo 1

Jean-Paul Allouche, Amy Glen

Starting from a study of Y. Bugeaud and A. Dubickas (2005) on a question in distribution of real numbers modulo 1 via combinatorics on words, we survey some combinatorial propertie…
