On minimal Sturmian partial words
Partial words, which are sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, can be viewed as sequences over an extended alphabet A = A ∪ { }, where stands for a hol...

On the Complexity of Deciding Avoidability of Sets of Partial Words
Blanchet-Sadri et al. have shown that Avoidability, or the problem of deciding the avoidability of a finite set of partial words over an alphabet of size k 2, is NP-hard [Theoret...

Testing primitivity on partial words
Primitive words, or strings over a finite alphabet that cannot be written as a power of another string, play an important role in numerous research areas including formal language...

Binary De Bruijn Partial Words with One Hole
In this paper, we investigate partial words, or finite sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, of maximum subword complexity. The subword complexity functi...

Partial Words for DNA Coding
A very basic problem in all DNA computations is finding a good encoding. Apart from the fact that they must provide a solution, the strands involved should not exhibit any undesir...

An Answer to a Conjecture on Overlaps in Partial Words Using Periodicity Algorithms
We propose an algorithm that given as input a full word w of length n, and positive integers p and d, outputs (if any exists) a maximal p-periodic partial word contained in w with ...
