A Set of Sequences of Complexity $2n+1$

Abstract

We prove the existence of a ternary sequence of factor complexity $2n+1$ for any given vector of rationally independent letter frequencies. Such sequences are constructed from an infinite product of two substitutions according to a particular Multidimensional Continued Fraction algorithm. We show that this algorithm is conjugate to a well-known one, the Selmer algorithm. Experimentations (Baldwin, 1992) suggest that their second Lyapunov exponent is negative which presages finite balance properties.
