Abstract:

Parikh matrices recently introduced give much more information about a word
than just the number of occurrences of each letter. In this paper we introduce the
general notion of a subword history and obtain a sequence of results, valid for
arbitrary words. We also investigate overall methods for establishing the validity of
such results. The paper can be viewed as a contribution toward arithmetization of
questions concerning words.
