چکیده

We consider the following problem. Let us fix a finite alphabet A = {1,2, · · · ,d}; for any d-uple of letter frequencies ( f1, · · · , fd) ∈ [0,1]d with ∑i=1 fi = 1, how to construct an infinite word u over the alphabet A satisfying the following conditions: u has linear complexity function, u is uniformly balanced, the letter frequencies in u are given by ( f1, · · · , fd). This paper investigates a construction method for such words based on the use of mixed multidimensional continued fraction algorithms.

Permutation Complexity Related to the Letter Doubling Map

Given a countable set X (usually taken to be N or Z), an infinite permutation π of X is a linear ordering ≺π of X , introduced in [6]. This paper investigates the combinatorial complexity of infinite permutations on N associated with the image of uniformly recurrent aperiodic binary words under the letter doubling map. An upper bound for the complexity is found for general words, and a formula ...

On the Entropy and Letter Frequencies of Ternary Square-Free Words

We enumerate all ternary length-` square-free words, which are words avoiding squares of words up to length `, for ` ≤ 24. We analyse the singular behaviour of the corresponding generating functions. This leads to new upper entropy bounds for ternary square-free words. We then consider ternary square-free words with fixed letter densities, thereby proving exponential growth for certain ensemble...

m-Balanced words: A generalization of balanced words

Consider to construct an in5nite sequence, or an in5nite word, from a 5nite set of letters such as each letter is distributed with “good balance,” that is, as evenly as possible, when the densities of letters are provided. Such words have been applied to many scheduling and routing problems in various areas. Concerning the balancedness of words, the notions of regularity and balanced words have...

m-Balanced Sequences and Their Applications to Some Network Scheduling Problems

Consider to construct an infinite sequence from a finite set of letters such as each letter is distributed with “good balance,” that is, as uniformly as possible, and with a fixed rate. Such sequences have been applied to many scheduling and routing problems in the area of queueing/discrete-event systems. Concerning the balancedness of sequences, the notions of regularity and balanced sequences...

On the Entropy and Letter Frequencies of Powerfree Words

We review the recent progress in the investigation of powerfree words, with particular emphasis on binary cubefree and ternary squarefree words. Besides various bounds on the entropy, we provide bounds on letter frequencies and consider their empirical distribution obtained by an enumeration of binary cubefree words up to length 80.
