Primitive Words and Lyndon Words in Automatic and Linearly Recurrent Sequences
Published 21 Jul 2012 in cs.FL and math.CO | (1207.5124v3)
Abstract: We investigate questions related to the presence of primitive words and Lyndon words in automatic and linearly recurrent sequences. We show that the Lyndon factorization of a k-automatic sequence is itself k-automatic. We also show that the function counting the number of primitive factors (resp., Lyndon factors) of length n in a k-automatic sequence is k-regular. Finally, we show that the number of Lyndon factors of a linearly recurrent sequence is bounded.
