Some properties of the \(k\)-bonacci words on infinite alphabet




Abstract: The Fibonacci word W on an infinite alphabet was introduced in [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 2017 24(2), 2-52] as a fixed point of the morphism 2iightarrow(2i)(2i+1), (2i+1)ightarrow(2i+2), igeq0. Here, for any integer k>2, we define the infinite k-bonacci word W(k) on the infinite alphabet as the fixed point of the morphism varphik on the alphabet mathbbN defined for any igeq0 and any 0leqjleqk1, as �egin{equation*} varphi_k(ki+j) = left{ �egin{array}{ll} (ki)(ki+j+1) & ext{if } j = 0,cdots ,k-2,\ (ki+j+1)& ext{otherwise}. end{array} ight. end{equation*} We consider the sequence of finite words (Wn(k))ngeq0, where Wn(k) is the prefix of W(k) whose length is the (n+k)-th k-bonacci number. We then provide a recursive formula for the number of palindromes occur in different positions of Wn(k). Finally, we obtain the structure of all palindromes occurring in W(k) and based on this, we compute the palindrome complexity of W(k), for any k>2.
