Linear-length anti-power conjecture for aperiodic morphic words
Linear-length anti-power conjecture for aperiodic morphic words
Let be a sufficiently well-behaved aperiodic morphic word. A -anti-power is a concatenation of consecutive pairwise distinct words of equal length.
Linear-length anti-power conjecture. There is a constant such that, for all positive integers and , contains a -anti-power with blocks of length at most beginning at its th position.
This conjecture proposes a uniform linear bound on the block length needed to find anti-powers at every position of a sufficiently well-behaved aperiodic morphic word. The phrase “sufficiently well-behaved” is intentionally left vague in the source, so the precise class of words for which the claim should hold remains open.
