Description

Explore the complex relationship between formal language theory and word properties in this specialized academic text. Published by World Scientific Publishing Company, this book investigates the mathematical properties of primitive words, which are defined as words that cannot be represented as a power of another word. The text addresses the long-standing open conjecture regarding whether the set of all primitive words over a non-trivial alphabet is context-free. Authors provide a detailed analysis of primitive words over non-primitive alphabets, examining both the language consisting of all primitive words and related linguistic structures. Readers will find discussions on various decidable and undecidable problems related to these specific languages. Additionally, the book explores the search for non-phrase structure grammars that can generate the set of primitive words. This work serves as a technical resource for those studying computer science, formal languages, and theoretical mathematics.
