Privileged Complexity of the ternary Thue-Morse word

2025Open accessNazi Boni University

Abstract

In this paper, we study a new type of complexity for infinite words, called privileged complexity. We apply this concept to the ternary Thue-Morse word. First, we present properties of the return words in the ternary Thue-Morse word. Then, we study the privileged words of this infinite word. Finally, we derive a recursive formula that allows us to determine the privileged complexity function of this ternary word. 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: 68R15, 11B85.
