Abstract

For a binary word f, let Q"d(f) be the subgraph of the d-dimensional cube Q"d induced on the set of all words that do not contain f as a factor. Let G"n be the set of words f of length n that are good in the sense that Q"d(f) is isometric in Q"d for all d. It is proved that lim"n"-"~|G"n|/2^n exists. Estimates show that the limit is close to 0.08, that is, about eight percent of all words are good.
