Abstract

Dejean conjectured that the repetition threshold for a k-letter alphabet is kk-1 when k=5. Dejean's conjecture has already been proved for k@?14 and for k=27. We present here a proof for 8@?k@?38. The same technique is also applied to prove Ochem's stronger version of the conjecture for 9@?k@?38.
