Lyndon words and Christoffel words

View through CrossRef
Abstract We give the basic properties of Lyndon words. Lower Christoffel words are particular Lyndon words. They are maximal for the lexicographical order among Lyndon words of a given slope (Borel and Laubie). The function which maps a lower Christoffel word onto its slope is increasing with respect to the lexicographical order (Borel and Laubie). Lower Christoffel words are the Lyndon words which are equilibrated (Melançon).
