Abstract

A factorization of a string w is said to be a repetition factorization of w if every factor in the factorization is a repetition (i.e., the factor has a period shorter than or equal to the half of its length). Inoue et al. [TOCS 2022] showed how to compute the largest/smallest repetition factorization of a given string w of length n in $$O(n \log n)$$ time and O(n) space, by reducing the problems to the longest/shortest path problems on the repetition graph built on w. Inoue et al. also considered repetition factorizations on Fibonacci words, and posed a conjecture on the size $$S:{F_k}$$ of the largest repetition factorization of the k-th Fibonacci word $$F:k$$. In this work, we provide a complete proof for this problem, by showing that $$S:{F_k}$$ is given by the recurrence $$S:{F_k} = S_{F_{k-1}} + S_{F_{k-2}} + 1$$ for every $$k \ge 15$$.
