Abstract

Given positive integers n, and p"1,...,p"r, we establish a fast word combinatorial algorithm for constructing a word w=w"1...w"n of length n, with periods p"1,...,p"r, and on the maximal number of distinct letters. Moreover, we show that the constructed word, which is unique up to word isomorphism, is a pseudo-palindrome - i.e. it is a fixed point of an involutory antimorphism.
