A new geometric approach to Sturmian words
2012
Theoretical Computer Science
We introduce a new geometric approach to Sturmian words by means of a mapping that associates certain lines in the n ×n-grid and sets of finite Sturmian words of length n. ...
We also give a new proof for the well-known result that a factor of a Sturmian word has precisely two return words. ...
The purpose of this note is to introduce a new geometric approach to Sturmian words by means of a mapping that associates certain lines in the n × n-grid and sets of finite Sturmian words of length n. ...

The paper under review offers a new charac- terization of Sturmian words based on the counting function of palindromes: an infinite word is Sturmian if and only if for ev- ery integer n, it contains exactly ...
Our algorithm uses a partition of the MST, similar to the sequential approach due to G. N. Frederickson [SIAM J. ...
A little more about morphic Sturmian words
2006
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications
Among Sturmian words, some of them are morphic, i.e. fixed point of a non-identical morphism on words. ...
Berstel and Séébold (1993) have shown that if a characteristic Sturmian word is morphic, then it can be extended by the left with one or two letters in such a way that it remains morphic and Sturmian. ...
First, I wish to thank Jean Bertel for giving me the subject of this article. ...

Elastodynamical properties of Sturmian structured media
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
The approach is presented in a general form so that it can be applied to waveguides of different nature, as long as they can be modeled with the transfer matrix method. ...
We propose a methodology based on Sturmian sequences for the generation of structured mechanical systems from a given parameter. ...
In particular, it will be shown later in Sec. 2.3 that Sturmian words defined as in Eq. (2) have an interesting geometrical interpretation. ...

A geometrical approach of palindromic factors of standard billiard words
2007
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science
We give new geometrical proofs of these results, especially for the existence in any dimension of Standard billiard words with arbitrary long palindromic prefixes. ...
International audience Many results are already known, concerning the palindromic factors and the palindomic prefixes of Standard billiard words, i.e., Sturmian words and billiard words in any dimension ...
There are many ways to associate to ρ a family of Sturmian words, which are special words on the two letters alphabet A := {a 1 , a 2 }. Here we choose the geometrical one. ...

RECENT RESULTS ON EXTENSIONS OF STURMIAN WORDS
2002
International journal of algebra and computation
Among several extensions of Sturmian words to larger alphabets, the Arnoux-Rauzy words appear to share many of the properties of Sturmian words. ...
Sturmian words are infinite words over a two-letter alphabet that admit a great number of equivalent definitions. Most of them have been given in the past ten years. ...
Observe that, in the binary case, characteristic words were defined by a geometric property which appeared to be equivalent to the combinatorial definition. ...

On the resonance spectra of particle-unstable light nuclei with a Sturmian approach that preserves the Pauli principle
[article]
2006
arXiv
pre-print
The formalism leads one to discuss a new concept, Pauli hindrance, which appears to be important especially to understand the structure of weakly-bound and unbound systems. ...
Currently, to describe these systems, we use a macroscopic, collective model. ...
Sturmians provide the solution of the scattering problems by matrix manipulation (hence the word "algebraic" in MCAS). ...

On k-abelian Equivalence and Generalized Lagrange Spectra
[article]
2019
arXiv

Our geometric approach allows the study of k-abelian powers in Sturmian words by means of continued fractions. ...
We study the set of k-abelian critical exponents of all Sturmian words. It has been proven that in the case k = 1 this set coincides with the Lagrange spectrum. ...
Acknowledgments We thank the referee for a careful reading of the paper, which improved the presentation. ...

Episturmian words: a survey
2009
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications
In this paper, we survey the rich theory of infinite episturmian words which generalize to any finite alphabet, in a rather resembling way, the well-known family of Sturmian words on two letters. ...
After recalling definitions and basic properties, we consider episturmian morphisms that allow for a deeper study of these words. ...
The authors would like to thank Jean Berstel and Pierre Arnoux for their helpful comments on a preliminary version of this paper. ...

Minimal complexity of equidistributed infinite permutations
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Hence minimal complexity of aperiodic words is equal to n+1, and words with such complexity are called Sturmian. ...
The class of equidistributed permutations of minimal complexity coincides with the class of so-called Sturmian permutations, directly related to Sturmian words. ...
Acknowledgements We are grateful to Pascal Hubert for suggesting a term "equidistributed permutation" instead of "ergodic", and to an anonimous referee for careful reading and valuable comments. ...
