On the conjugates of Christoffel wordsArticle

Authors: Y. Bugeaud ; C. Reutenauer

    We introduce a parametrization of the conjugates of Christoffel words based on the integer Ostrowski numeration system. We use it to give a precise description of the borders (prefixes which are also suffixes) of the conjugates of Christoffel words and to revisit the notion of Sturmian graph introduced by Epifanio et al.
