圆形词中的不同方形

Distinct Squares in Circular Words

Mika Amit, Paweł Gawrychowski

摘要:

一个循环词,或一条项链,是一个词的共轭下的等价类。在标准单词中,关于平方的一个基本问题是限制长度为$n$的单词中不同平方的数量。Fraenkel和Simpson提出的著名猜想是,最多存在$n$这种不同的正方形,但最著名的上界是Deza等人的$1.84n$ [Discr. 180,52-69(2015)]。我们考虑一个自然的推广这个问题的循环词:有多少不同的广场可以在所有的循环旋转的一个字的长度$n$?我们证明了$3.14n$的一个上界。这是补充了一个无限的家庭的话,意味着一个下界的$1.25n$。

英文摘要:

A circular word, or a necklace, is an equivalence class under conjugation of a word. A fundamental question concerning regularities in standard words is bounding the number of distinct squares in a word of length $n$. The famous conjecture attributed to Fraenkel and Simpson is that there are at most $n$ such distinct squares, yet the best known upper bound is $1.84n$ by Deza et al. [Discr. Appl. Math. 180, 52-69 (2015)]. We consider a natural generalization of this question to circular words: how many distinct squares can there be in all cyclic rotations of a word of length $n$? We prove an upper bound of $3.14n$. This is complemented with an infinite family of words implying a lower bound of $1.25n$.
