Combinatorics of words

TL;DR: This is a survey on combinatorics of words to appear as a chapter in Handbook of Formal Languages about defect effect, equations as properties of words, periodicity, finiteness conditions, avoidabilty and subword complexity.

Context-free languages and pushdown automata

TL;DR: This chapter is devoted to context-free languages, which were designed initially to formalize grammatical properties of natural languages and grammars and appeared to be well adapted to the formal description of the syntax of programming languages.

Context-free languages

TL;DR: Two other languages, the Lukasiewicz language and the language of completely parenthesized arithmetic expressions, are studied and a proof of the Chomsky-Schutzenberger Theorem is presented.

Introduction to formal language theory

TL;DR: This volume intended to serve as a text for upper undergraduate and graduate level students and special emphasis is given to the role of algebraic techniques in formal language theory through a chapter devoted to the fixed point approach to the analysis of context-free languages.

Avoidable patterns in strings of symbols

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that every Mh power-free word on n-letters is a subword of a maximal word of the same kind, and that all words of length at least 2 are avoidable.

Sur les mots sans carré définis par un morphisme

TL;DR: This paper shows that it is decidable whether an infinite word over a three letter alphabet obtained by iterating a morphism is nonrepetitive, and investigates nonrePETitive morphisms, i.e. morphisms preserving nonre petitive words.
