On the Asymptotic Palindrome Density of Fibonacci Infinite Words
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial and density properties of infinite words generated by Fibonacci-type morphisms, focusing on their subword structure, palindrome density, and extremal statistical behaviors. Using the morphism 0 01, 1 0, we define a derived ternary word Y and establish new results relating its density components dens(λ,n), dens(α,n), and dens(β,n), deriving explicit formulae and bounds on their behavior. We further prove a general density theorem for infinite words with paired subwords, showing that the associated palindromic prefix density is bounded above by 11, where 1 = (1 + 5)/2 is the golden ratio. Our approach connects the structure of Fibonacci and Thue--Morse sequences with precise asymptotic and combinatorial interpretations for the observed densities.
