Maximal -palindromic density conjecture
Maximal -palindromic density conjecture
Let , and let be an -palindromic sequence that is not eventually periodic. Let denote its -palindromic density. For with , let be the sequence obtained from the Fibonacci sequence by replacing each occurrence of one symbol by and each occurrence of the other by , and let be the golden ratio. Maximal -palindromic density conjecture. For every such , one has
Furthermore,
This conjectures that the constructed sequences attain the maximal -palindromic density among non-eventually-periodic -palindromic sequences, extending the known result for the Fibonacci word. The surrounding construction establishes the lower bound for these Fibonacci-derived sequences, while the asserted universal upper bound is the conjectural part.
