Combinatorics on words has arisen independently within several branches of mathematics, for instance number theory, group theory and probability, and appears frequently in problems related to theoretical computer science. The first unified treatment of the area was given in Lothaire's book Combinatorics on Words. Since its publication, the area has developed and the author now aims to present several more topics as well as giving deeper insights into subjects that were discussed in the previous volume. An introductory chapter provides the reader with all the necessary background material. There are numerous examples, full proofs whenever possible and a notes section discussing further developments in the area. This book is both a comprehensive introduction to the subject and a valuable reference source for researchers.

Reviews for Algebraic Combinatorics on Words

'This book will certainly become a reference book and have the same impact as the first book of Lotahire: essentially self-contained, with many exercise and interesting notes, not mentioning a bibliography with more than 450 items.' Jean-Paul Allouche, Zentrallblatt MATH '... an indispensable reference ...'. Mathematika
