    Recently the Fibonacci word WW on an infinite alphabet was introduced by [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 24-2 (2017) #P2.52] as a fixed point of the morphism Ο•:(2i)↦(2i)(2i+1),Β (2i+1)↦(2i+2)\phi: (2i) \mapsto (2i)(2i+ 1),\ (2i+ 1) \mapsto (2i+ 2) over all i∈Ni \in \mathbb{N}. In this paper we investigate the occurrence of squares, palindromes, and Lyndon factors in this infinite word.Comment: 12 pages; minor revision

    The Fibonacci word WW on an infinite alphabet was introduced in [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 2017 24(2), 2-52] as a fixed point of the morphism 2iβ†’(2i)(2i+1)2i\rightarrow (2i)(2i+1), (2i+1)β†’(2i+2)(2i+1) \rightarrow (2i+2), iβ‰₯0i\geq 0. Here, for any integer k>2k>2, we define the infinite kk-bonacci word W(k)W^{(k)} on the infinite alphabet as the fixed point of the morphism Ο†k\varphi_k on the alphabet N\mathbb{N} defined for any iβ‰₯0i\geq 0 and any 0≀j≀kβˆ’10\leq j\leq k-1, as \begin{equation*} \varphi_k(ki+j) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (ki)(ki+j+1) & \text{if } j = 0,\cdots ,k-2,\\ (ki+j+1)& \text{otherwise}. \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} We consider the sequence of finite words (Wn(k))nβ‰₯0(W^{(k)}_n)_{n\geq 0}, where Wn(k)W^{(k)}_n is the prefix of W(k)W^{(k)} whose length is the (n+k)(n+k)-th kk-bonacci number. We then provide a recursive formula for the number of palindromes occur in different positions of Wn(k)W^{(k)}_n. Finally, we obtain the structure of all palindromes occurring in W(k)W^{(k)} and based on this, we compute the palindrome complexity of W(k)W^{(k)}, for any k>2k>2
