The first-order theory of binary overlap-free words is decidable
Abstract We show that the first-order logical theory of the binary overlap-free words (and, more generally, the $\alpha $ -free words for rational $\alpha $ , $2 < \alpha \leq 7/3$ ), is decidable. As a consequence, many results previously obtained about this class through tedious case-based proofs can now be proved “automatically,” using a decision procedure, and new claims can be proved or disproved simply by restating them as logical formulas.
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Journal of Mathematics (CJM) publishes original, high-quality research papers in all branches of mathematics. The Journal is a flagship publication of the Canadian Mathematical Society and has been published continuously since 1949. New research papers are published continuously online and collated into print issues six times each year.
To be submitted to the Journal, papers should be at least 18 pages long and may be written in English or in French. Shorter papers should be submitted to the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin.
Le Journal canadien de mathématiques (JCM) publie des articles de recherche innovants de grande qualité dans toutes les branches des mathématiques. Publication phare de la Société mathématique du Canada, il est publié en continu depuis 1949. En ligne, la revue propose constamment de nouveaux articles de recherche, puis les réunit dans des numéros imprimés six fois par année.
Les textes présentés au JCM doivent compter au moins 18 pages et être rédigés en anglais ou en français. C’est le Bulletin canadien de mathématiques qui reçoit les articles plus courts.
