AI 中文总结
本文证明长度至少18且两字母出现偶数次的光滑二元词必为洗牌平方,并应用于Kolakoski序列,刻画其洗牌平方前缀的条件。
AI 中文摘要
二元词若其位置可划分为两个相同的子序列,则称为洗牌平方。一个定义在字母表$\{1,2\}$上的有限词,若反复进行有限游程长度差分,直到达到空词为止,始终保持二元性,则称该词为光滑词。本文证明:每个光滑二元词,若其中两个字母的出现次数均为偶数,则当词长至少为$18$时,该词必为洗牌平方。恰好有$34$个例外,其长度均不超过$16$。证明的无限部分采用一种奇偶返回原子归纳法:一个光滑的偶Parikh词可唯一分解为光滑奇偶原子,且每个这样的原子长度至多为$8$。一个有限的、可独立验证的证书覆盖了长度从$18$到$40$的情况。作为推论,经典Kolakoski序列的非空前缀是洗牌平方,当且仅当两个符号均出现偶数次,且其长度不为$4$或$8$。这样的前缀有无穷多个。事实上,整个无限Kolakoski序列可被划分为两个相同的无限子序列,且每个子序列中的单色块长度一致有界。
英文摘要
A binary word is a shuffle square if its positions can be partitioned into two identical subsequences. A finite word over $\{1,2\}$ is smooth if repeated finite run-length differentiation remains binary until the empty word is reached. This paper proves that every smooth binary word in which both letters have even multiplicity is a shuffle square once its length is at least $18$. There are exactly $34$ exceptions, all of length at most $16$. The infinite part of the proof is a parity-return atom induction: a smooth even-Parikh word factors uniquely into smooth parity atoms, and every such atom has length at most $8$. A finite, independently checkable certificate handles lengths $18$ through $40$. As a consequence, a nonempty prefix of the classical Kolakoski sequence is a shuffle square if and only if both symbols occur an even number of times and its length is not $4$ or $8$. There are infinitely many such prefixes. In fact, the entire infinite Kolakoski sequence can be partitioned into two identical infinite subsequences with monochromatic blocks of uniformly bounded length.
