Additive Word Complexity and Walnut

Authors: Pierre Popoli, Jeffrey Shallit, and Manon Stipulanti

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 323, 44th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2024)


Abstract
In combinatorics on words, a classical topic of study is the number of specific patterns appearing in infinite sequences. For instance, many works have been dedicated to studying the so-called factor complexity of infinite sequences, which gives the number of different factors (contiguous subblocks of their symbols), as well as abelian complexity, which counts factors up to a permutation of letters. In this paper, we consider the relatively unexplored concept of additive complexity, which counts the number of factors up to additive equivalence. We say that two words are additively equivalent if they have the same length and the total weight of their letters is equal. Our contribution is to expand the general knowledge of additive complexity from a theoretical point of view and consider various famous examples. We show a particular case of an analog of the long-standing conjecture on the regularity of the abelian complexity of an automatic sequence. In particular, we use the formalism of logic, and the software Walnut, to decide related properties of automatic sequences. We compare the behaviors of additive and abelian complexities, and we also consider the notion of abelian and additive powers. Along the way, we present some open questions and conjectures for future work.

On Extended Boundary Sequences of Morphic and Sturmian Words

Authors: Michel Rigo, Manon Stipulanti, and Markus A. Whiteland

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 241, 47th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2022)


Abstract
Generalizing the notion of the boundary sequence introduced by Chen and Wen, the nth term of the 𝓁-boundary sequence of an infinite word is the finite set of pairs (u,v) of prefixes and suffixes of length 𝓁 appearing in factors uyv of length n+𝓁 (n ≥ 𝓁 ≥ 1). Otherwise stated, for increasing values of n, one looks for all pairs of factors of length 𝓁 separated by n-𝓁 symbols. For the large class of addable numeration systems U, we show that if an infinite word is U-automatic, then the same holds for its 𝓁-boundary sequence. In particular, they are both morphic (or generated by an HD0L system). We also provide examples of numeration systems and U-automatic words with a boundary sequence that is not U-automatic. In the second part of the paper, we study the 𝓁-boundary sequence of a Sturmian word. We show that it is obtained through a sliding block code from the characteristic Sturmian word of the same slope. We also show that it is the image under a morphism of some other characteristic Sturmian word.
