Abstract

In this paper we study generalization of the reversal mapping realized by an arbitrary involutory antimorphism @Q. It generalizes the notion of a palindrome into a @Q-palindrome-a word invariant under @Q. For languages closed under @Q we give the relation between@Q-palindromic complexity and factor complexity. We generalize the notion of richness to@Q-richness and we prove analogous characterizations of words that are @Q-rich, especially in the case of set of factors invariant under @Q. A criterion for @Q-richness of @Q-episturmian words is given together with other examples of @Q-rich words.
