Let Wp be the p-th occurrence of w and Gp(ω) be the gap between Wp and Wp+l. We introduce a notion of kernel for each factor w, and then give the decomposition of the factor w with respect to its kernel. Using the kernel and the decomposition, we prove the main result of this paper: for each factor w, the gap sequence {Gp(ω)}p≥1 is the Tribonacci sequence over the alphabet {G1 (ω), G2(ω), G4(ω)}, and the expressions of gaps are determined completely. As an application, for each factor w and p C ∈N, we determine the position of Wp. Finally we introduce a notion of spectrum for studying some typical combinatorial properties, such as power, overlap and separate of factors.展开更多
