Local periods and binary partial words: an algorithm
The study of the combinatorial properties of strings of symbols from a finite alphabet (also referred to as words) is profoundly connected to numerous fields such as biology, computer science, mathematics, and physics. Research in combinatorics on words goes back roughly a century. There is a renewed interest in combinatorics on words as a result of emerging new application areas such as molecu...

متن کاملPeriods and Binary Words
We give an elementary short proof for a well-known theorem of Guibas and Odlyzko stating that the sets of periods of words are independent of the alphabet size. As a consequence of our constructing proof, we give a linear time algorithm which, given a word, computes a binary one with the same periods. We give also a very short proof for the famous Fine and Wilf's periodicity lemma.
متن کاملComputing Weak Periods of Partial Words
Fine and Wilf’s well-known theorem states that any word having periods p, q and length at least p + q − gcd(p, q) also has gcd(p, q), the greatest common divisor of p and q, as a period. Moreover, the length p + q − gcd(p, q) is critical since counterexamples can be provided for shorter words. This result has since been extended to partial words, or finite sequences that may contain a number of...
متن کاملSquares in Binary Partial Words
In this paper, we investigate the number of positions that do not start a square, the number of square occurrences, and the number of distinct squares in binary partial words. Letting σh(n) be the maximum number of positions not starting a square for binary partial words with h holes of length n, we show that limσh(n)/n = 15/31 provided the limit of h/n is zero. Letting γh(n) be the minimum num...
