Marked Input Shape

Abstract

The marker modes recognize positive signed digits at positions separated by three.

Theorem 1.1 (Input language of a completed marker).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Words/Palindromes/PeriodDoubling/PrefixInputShape.prefix_path_input_shape (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A path begins in marker mode zero and ends in mode four. Its input coefficients consist of an arbitrary lower tail, a nonempty repetition of the block [1,0,0], and at least one final zero. Coefficients are read least significant first. Modes one and two require the two zeros after a selected positive digit; mode three either starts the next block or ends the marker; mode four accepts only zeros.
