On the Asymptotic Palindrome Density of Fibonacci Infinite Words

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial and density properties of infinite words generated by Fibonacci-type morphisms, focusing on their subword structure, palindrome density, and extremal statistical behaviors. Using the morphism $0 \to 01$, $1 \to 0$, we define a derived ternary word $\mathbb{Y}$ and establish new results relating its density components $\mathrm{dens}(λ,n)$, $\mathrm{dens}(α,n)$, and $\mathrm{dens}(β,n)$, deriving explicit formulae and bounds on their behavior. We further prove a general density theorem for infinite words with paired subwords, showing that the associated palindromic prefix density is bounded above by $\frac{1}{φ_1}$, where $φ_1 = (1 + \sqrt{5})/2$ is the golden ratio. Our approach connects the structure of Fibonacci and Thue--Morse sequences with precise asymptotic and combinatorial interpretations for the observed densities.

Rooted Spider Embeddings and the Erd\H os-Sós Conjecture

Under a local density condition, we prove that every $k$-edge spider embeds at any prescribed center of degree at least $k$, unless all legs are even and the host graph has one of two specified structures. These structures contain complete bipartite subgraphs with prescribed neighborhoods. The proof uses path rerouting and three exchange lemmas that describe equality in neighborhood estimates. As a consequence, we recover the Erd\H os-Sós bound for all spiders.

Random algebraic constructions for extremal and Ramsey problems

Building on Bukh's random algebraic method, we develop a framework for extremal and Ramsey problems involving apex hypergraphs. If $\mathcal{H}$ is a $(d-1)$-partite $(d-1)$-uniform hypergraph with $S$ edges and $\mathcal{H}(t)$ is obtained by adjoining $t$ vertices with common link $\mathcal{H}$, we prove that $\operatorname{ex}(n,\mathcal{H}(t))=Ω_{\mathcal{H}}(n^{d-1/S})$ for $t>9^{S+o_d(S)}$, which is best possible when $\mathcal{H}$ is Sidorenko. Our framework also yields sharper sided Zarankiewicz bounds, quantitative generalized Tur'an bounds, and diagonal multicolor Ramsey constructions. For each fixed $s\geq 2$ and $K\geq 3$, we further prove $\operatorname{r}_K(\mathcal K_{s,t};\mathcal K_n) =Θ_{s,t,K}((n/\log n)^s)$ for $t>9^{s+o(s)}$, extending a theorem of Alon and Rödl from factorial to exponential $t$. The main ingredients are interpolation on $m$-independent varieties, control of the dependencies imposed by symmetry, and linear spaces of forms whose nonzero members remain regular after a common algebraic slice. Limited edge independence then gives the spectral and local-density estimates needed for the Ramsey application.

A note on vertex-critical induced subgraphs of shift graphs

Shift graphs, introduced by Erdős and Hajnal in 1964, form one of the simplest known non-recursive constructions of triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic number. In this note, we identify a surprising property: for each integer $k \geq 1$, the smallest $k$-chromatic shift graph contains a \emph{unique} induced $k$-vertex-critical subgraph. We give an explicit description of this subgraph and prove its uniqueness. This provides a new family of vertex-critical triangle-free graphs of arbitrarily large chromatic number.
