Some characterizations of finite Sturmian words

In this paper, we give some new characterizations of words which are finite factors of Sturmian words. An enumeration formula for primitive finite Sturmian words is given. Moreover, we provide two linear-time algorithms to recognize whether a …

Palindromes in Sturmian Words

We study some structural and combinatorial properties of Sturmian palindromes, i.e., palindromic finite factors of Sturmian words. In particular, we give a formula which permits to compute in an exact way the number of Sturmian palindromes of …
