Maximal Number of Subword Occurrences in a Word

Authors: Wenjie Fang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 302, 35th International Conference on Probabilistic, Combinatorial and Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms (AofA 2024)

Abstract
We consider the number of occurrences of subwords (non-consecutive sub-sequences) in a given word. We first define the notion of subword entropy of a given word that measures the maximal number of occurrences among all possible subwords. We then give upper and lower bounds of minimal subword entropy for words of fixed length in a fixed alphabet, and also showing that minimal subword entropy per letter has a limit value. A better upper bound of minimal subword entropy for a binary alphabet is then given by looking at certain families of periodic words. We also give some conjectures based on experimental observations.

Asymptotics of Minimal Deterministic Finite Automata Recognizing a Finite Binary Language

Authors: Andrew Elvey Price, Wenjie Fang, and Michael Wallner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 159, 31st International Conference on Probabilistic, Combinatorial and Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms (AofA 2020)

Abstract
We show that the number of minimal deterministic finite automata with n+1 states recognizing a finite binary language grows asymptotically for n → ∞ like Θ(n! 8ⁿ e^{3 a₁ n^{1/3}} n^{7/8}), where a₁ ≈ -2.338 is the largest root of the Airy function. For this purpose, we use a new asymptotic enumeration method proposed by the same authors in a recent preprint (2019). We first derive a new two-parameter recurrence relation for the number of such automata up to a given size. Using this result, we prove by induction tight bounds that are sufficiently accurate for large n to determine the asymptotic form using adapted Netwon polygons.
