Notes Axel Thue's papers on repetitions in words: a translation The other two papers deal with repetitions in finite and infinite words. Perhaps because these papers were published in a journal with restricted availability, this work of Thue was widely ignored during a long time, and consequently some of his results have been rediscovered again and again. Axel Thue's papers on sequences are now more easily accessible since they are included in the "Selected Papers" which were edited in 1977. It is the purpose of the present text to give a translation into English of Axel Thue's papers on repetitions in sequences, both in more recent terminology and in relation with new results and directions of research.

The Thue-Morse sequence begins: on a given ordered pair There are several equivalent ways of defining the Thue-Morse sequence. The Thue-Morse sequence is the sequence t n satisfying t and for all positive integers n The Thue-Morse sequence in the form given above, as a sequence of bits , can be defined recursively using the operation of bitwise negation . So, the first element is 0. Then once the first 2 n elements have been specified, forming a string s , then the next 2 n elements must form the bitwise negation of s . Now we have defined the first 2 n elements, and we recurse.

The first question we might ask is what is the global process that emerges, if any. To answer this question, we first observe that generation does appear at the beginning of . If we look at what follows, we eventually conclude that it resembles , except that each a has been replaced by a b and each b has been replaced by an a . For any word w in , we define R w ) to be the mirror image word where we replace a by b and b by a . Then the global process is As a challenge, we ask the reader to supply a proof. (It's very similar to what one writes down for the Fibonacci process; there is one extra key point.) Since is the beginning of , this L -system produces in the limit an infinite sequence of a 's and b 's that begins: This sequence has many interesting properties and is known as the Thue-Morse sequence .

Extractions: In times of severe stress, we often find out who our real friends are. The Winter of 1991 was the most stressful time in my life so far. I would not have gotten through it without my friends Basho and Axel Thu. Axel Thu was a Chinese mathematician who died in the year 400 AD . Basho was my cat. January 14 was my preliminary examination in Mathematics. The preliminary examination is the biggest hurdle that lies between the hopeful graduate student, and the Ph. D. that is his or her heart's desire. Picture a two hour oral exam consisting of two professors hurling questions at you, where you only have a piece of chalk for self defense. At the University of Michigan, the rule was that if you failed, you got one more chance. If you failed a second time, that's it. You're out. Thanks for playing. You leave college with nothing but debt, misery, and a Master's degree. I started studying six weeks before the date, telling my family that Christmas was canceled for me that year. This is the story of a friendship. Basho the Cat, Axel Thu and I became very close during those six weeks. Unfortunately, this is also the story of a betrayal, and the end of a friendship.

Thue - Esolang The language is presumably named after either Norwegian mathematician axel thue,or the grammar which bears his name (which the language employs.) http://esoteric.voxelperfect.net/wiki/Thue
Extractions: edit Thue is based on a semi-Thue grammar , which is a restricted form of Thue system in which each association between a pair of strings is only one-way. edit The language is presumably named after either Norwegian mathematician Axel Thue, or the grammar which bears his name (which the language employs.) It is worth noting that while the mathematician's name is likely pronounced "TOO-eh" or "TOO", the associated documentation explicitly gives the pronounciation of the name of the language as "TOO-ay". edit Each Thue program consists of two parts: a list of substitution rules of the form which is terminated with a line having both and empty: followed by a string representing the initial program state, which may extend over multiple lines.

In particular, we construct a symmetry group of a one-dimensional Thue - Morse quasicrystal, i.e. of a nonperiodic ground state of a certain translation-invariant, exponentially decaying interaction. A symmetry group of a three-dimensional crystal consists of lattice translations, rotations, and reflections. Starting from any point of a crystal, we can reach any other point, successively applying different elements of the symmetry group of the crystal. It was recently shown [ ] that certain one-dimensional quasicrystals can be built by successive applications, on one of its points, of elements of certain discrete affine semigroups. Here we describe a general method, based on ideas contained in [
String Rewriting And The Fibonacci Word since the Norwegian logician and mathematician axel thue devised and of this kind provide the reason why people like axel thue invent systems like http://www.washingtonart.net/whealton/fibword.html
Extractions: Steve Whealton String Rewriting and the Fibonacci Word Something that my musical and my visual work have in common is maintaining a proper balance between sameness and randomness. I am forever looking for new, interesting, and different ways to create patterns, to alter patterns, to merge patterns, and to render and manifest patterns in ways audible and visible. Greep Theory . The Thue-Morse Word and the Fibonacci Word seemed to have been invented just for me. Unlike with greeps, however, the strings dealt with in rewriting are of varying, indefinite, or even of a theoretically infinite length. A given set of rules are applied over and over so as to produce, in theory at least, a string that can go on forever! This "infinite" string goes by the provocative name, the "Omega Word." String rewriting has been studied for about a century, since the Norwegian logician and mathematician Axel Thue devised and perused "The Word Problem" as an exercise in logic. Today, a field of study, called "Combinatorics on Words," has grown up from this beginning. It flourishes in France and elsewhere. But my earliest work with strings was visual. Here is how it fell out.
Thue Sequences, Lambda Calculus Circular Program thue sequences, after axel thue, are sequences over an alphabet of three {1,2,3}such that no subsequence is immediately repeated. eg 1213121 is a thue http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/tildeFP/Lambda/Examples/Thue/
Extractions: immediately repeated. e.g. 1213121 is a Thue sequence that cannot be extended 121312 any length. (There are no solutions longer than 3 for binary sequences, and finding solutions is easier for alphabets larger than three.) The ``circular program'' below builds a tree of Thue sequences. Note that within function `build', the tree data-structure `T' and functions `toplevel' and `f' are mutually recursive. The program relies on the fact that a partial soln `abcde' can be extended with `f' iff its shadow, `bcdef', is already in tree at the previous level; this avoids repeating many tests on constraints that have already been treated at a higher level. The subtree for `abcde' is the subtree of `bcde' less any `a' nodes. The tree of all solutions is notionally infinite, but the program prints one branch to a finite depth so only a finite part of the tree is evaluated thanks to lazy evaluation. See L. Allison. Applications of Recursively Defined Data Structures . Australian Computer Journal Feb 1993.
