The undirected repetition threshold and undirected pattern avoidance

JD Currie, L Mol - Theoretical Computer Science, 2021 - Elsevier
For a rational number r such that 1< r≤ 2, an undirected r-power is a word of the form xyx′,
where the word x is nonempty, the word x′ is in {x, x R}, and we have| xyx′|/| xy|= r. The …

Doubled patterns with reversal and square-free doubled patterns

In combinatorics on words, a word $ w $ over an alphabet $\Sigma $ is said to avoid a
pattern $ p $ over an alphabet $\Delta $ if there is no factor $ f $ of $ w $ such that $ f= h (p) …

The undirected repetition threshold

JD Currie, L Mol - … on Words: 12th International Conference, WORDS …, 2019 - Springer
Abstract For rational 1< r ≤ 2 1< r≤ 2, an undirected r-power is a word of the form xyx'xyx′,
where x is nonempty, x'∈ {x, x^ R\} x′∈ x, x R, and| xyx'|/| xy|= r| xyx′|/| xy|= r. The …
