: For polyominoes coded by their boundary word, we describe a quadratic O(n2) algorithm in the boundary length n which improves the naive O(n4) algorithm. Techniques used emanate f...
We consider the finite binary words Z(n), n ∈ N, defined by the following selfsimilar process: Z(0) := 0, Z(1) := 01, and Z(n + 1) := Z(n) · Z(n − 1), where the dot · deno...
In a previous paper it was established that there are at least 27 non-isomorphic strongly regular (40, 12, 2, 4) graphs. Using a different and more efficient method we have re-inv...
The problem of classifying all the avoidable binary patterns in words has been completely solved (see Chapter 3 of M. Lothaire, Algebraic Combinatorics on Words, Cambridge Universi...

We study words on a finite alphabet avoiding a finite collection of patterns. Given a pattern p in which every letter that occurs in p occurs at least twice, we show that the nu...
