Partial words, which are sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, can be viewed as sequences over an extended alphabet A = A ∪ { }, where stands for a hol...
Blanchet-Sadri et al. have shown that Avoidability, or the problem of deciding the avoidability of a finite set of partial words over an alphabet of size k 2, is NP-hard [Theoret...
Primitive words, or strings over a finite alphabet that cannot be written as a power of another string, play an important role in numerous research areas including formal language...

In this paper, we investigate partial words, or finite sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, of maximum subword complexity. The subword complexity functi...
A very basic problem in all DNA computations is finding a good encoding. Apart from the fact that they must provide a solution, the strands involved should not exhibit any undesir...
We propose an algorithm that given as input a full word w of length n, and positive integers p and d, outputs (if any exists) a maximal p-periodic partial word contained in w with ...
