Balanced k-Colorings (2007)

Therese C. Biedl, Eowyn Cenek, Timothy M. Chan, Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine, Rudolf Fleischer, ...

. While discrepancy theory is normally only studied in the context of 2-colorings, we explore the problem of k-coloring, for k 2, a set of vertices to minimize imbalance among a family of subsets of...

Automatic Complexity of Strings Jerey Shallit (2007)

Ming-wei Wang

Abstract. We dene a new measure of complexity for nite strings, called automatic complexity and denoted A(x). Although A(x) is analogous to Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity, it has the advantage of...

y (2007)

Therese Biedl, Timothy M. Chan, Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine, Paul Nijjar, Ryuhei Uehara, ...

We prove that there is a polyhedron with genus 6 whose faces are orthogonal polygons (equivalently, rectangles) and yet the angles between some faces are not multiples of 90, so the polyhedron itself...

H. Friedman obtained remarkable results about the longest finite sequence x over a finite alphabet such that for all i 6 = j the word x[i::2i] is not a subsequence of x[j::2j]. In this note we...

Periodicity and Repetition in Combinatorics on Words (2004)

Wang, Ming-wei

This thesis concerns combinatorics on words. I present many results in this area, united by the common themes of periodicity and repetition. Most of these results have already appeared in journal or...

Avoiding large squares in infinite binary words (2003)

Rampersad, Narad, Shallit, Jeffrey, Wang, Ming-wei

We consider three aspects of avoiding large squares in infinite binary words. First, we construct an infinite binary word avoiding both cubes xxx and squares yy with |y| >= 4; our construction is...

Cubefree binary words avoiding long squares (2003)

Rampersad, Narad, Shallit, Jeffrey, Wang, Ming-wei

Entringer, Jackson, and Schatz conjectured in 1974 that every infinite cubefree binary word contains arbitrarily long squares. In this paper we show this conjecture is false: there exist infinite...

Weakly self-avoiding words and a construction of Friedman (2001)

Jeffrey Shallit, Ming-wei Wang

H. Friedman obtained remarkable results about the longest finite sequence x over a finite alphabet such that for all i � = j the word x[i..2i] is not a subsequence of x[j..2j]. In this note we...

On a construction of Friedman (2000)

Shallit, Jeffrey, Wang, Ming-wei

H. Friedman obtained remarkable results about the longest finite sequence $x$ such that for all $i \not= j$ the word $x[i..2i]$ is not a subsequence of $x[j..2j]$. In this note we consider what...

On Two-Sided Infinite Fixed Points of Morphisms (1999)

Jeffrey Shallit, Ming-wei Wang

Let \Sigma be a finite alphabet, and let h : \Sigma ! \Sigma be a morphism. Finite and infinite fixed points of morphisms --- i.e., those words w such that h(w) = w --- play an important role in...

New Problems Of Pattern Avoidance (1999)

John Loftus Jeffrey, Jeffrey Shallit, Ming-wei Wang

this paper we consider several new pattern avoidance problems, of which the following is a typical example: what is the smallest k for which one can simultaneously avoid the patterns xx and x(x) over...

On Minimal Words With Given Subword Complexity (1998)

Ming-wei Wang, Jeffrey Shallit

We prove that the minimal length of a word S n having the property that it contains exactly Fm+2 distinct subwords of length m for 1 # m # n is F n + F n+2 .HereF n is the nth Fibonacci number...
