Toeplitz words, generalized periodicity and periodically iterated morphisms. (English) Zbl 0881.68065

Summary: We consider so-called Toeplitz words which can be viewed as generalizations of one-way infinite periodic words. We compute their subword complexity, and show that they can always be generated by iterating periodically a finite number of morphisms. Moreover, we define a structural classification of Toeplitz words which is reflected in the way in which they can be generated by iterated morphisms.
