Abelian combinatorics on words: a survey

G Fici, S Puzynina - Computer Science Review, 2023 - Elsevier
We survey known results and open problems in abelian combinatorics on words. Abelian
combinatorics on words is the extension to the commutative setting of the classical theory of …

[HTML][HTML] Unshuffling a square is NP-hard

S Buss, M Soltys - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2014 - Elsevier
A shuffle of two strings is formed by interleaving the characters into a new string, keeping the
characters of each string in order. A string is a square if it is a shuffle of two identical strings …

Long twins in random words

A Dudek, J Grytczuk, A Ruciński - Annals of Combinatorics, 2023 - Springer
Twins in a finite word are formed by a pair of identical subwords placed at disjoint sets of
