RECENT RESULTS ON EXTENSIONS OF STURMIAN WORDS
Jean Berstel · International Journal of Algebra and Computation · 2002
Sturmian words are infinite words over a two-letter alphabet that admit a great number of equivalent definitions. Most of them have been given in the past ten years. Among several extensions of Sturmian words to larger alphabets, the Arnoux–Rauzy words appear to share many of the properties of Sturmian words. In this survey, combinatorial properties of these two families are considered and compared.
