Solving Quadratic Word Equations

from Iowa Type Theory Commute · host Aaron Stump

A system of word equations is called quadratic if no variable occurs more than twice in it. There is an interesting simple algorithm to solve quadratic systems of word equations, which I talk through in this episode. My source is Chapter 12 of "Algebraic Combinatorics on Words" by Lothaire.
