Runs in Paperfolding Sequences (2412.17930v2)

Published 23 Dec 2024 in math.CO, cs.DM, and cs.FL

Abstract: The paperfolding sequences form an uncountable class of infinite sequences over the alphabet ${ -1, 1 }$ that describe the sequence of folds arising from iterated folding of a piece of paper, followed by unfolding. In this note we observe that the sequence of run lengths in such a sequence, as well as the starting and ending positions of the $n$'th run, is $2$-synchronized and hence computable by a finite automaton. As a specific consequence, we obtain the recent results of Bunder, Bates, and Arnold, in much more generality, via a different approach. We also prove results about the critical exponent and subword complexity of these run-length sequences.
