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

For a given m, the mapping between the set S of all m^3 triples of initial values and the set of their coresponding periods define a partition of the set S. In this paper we shall investigate some basic questions related to these partitions from the point of view of enumerative combinatorics.展开更多
