TL;DR
This work addresses the density of the Fibonacci word and its morphism-derived forms by developing a morphism-based framework and Beatty-type representations tied to the golden ratio $\varphi$. It introduces a power operation on Fibonacci words and proves an index-invariant expression Pow$(\mathcal{F}_k)=aabaa+abababaabaaba$ with density $DF(\operatorname{Pow}(\mathcal{F}_k))=\varphi-1$, illustrating remarkable cancellations in noncommutative word combinatorics. The study further analyzes framed words and higher-order Fibonacci constructs, establishing asymptotic letter densities $\mathrm{dens}_a(\mathbb{Q})=1/\varphi$ and $\mathrm{dens}_b(\mathbb{Q})=1/\varphi^2$ and connecting these results to Fibonacci and Lucas number identities. Overall, the paper links combinatorics on words with number-theoretic properties of Fibonacci/Lucas sequences, yielding exact density formulas and structural insights for morphic word families.
Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the density of the Fibonacci word and its derived forms by examining the morphisms associated with each. It offers a comparative analysis of the density of Fibonacci numbers alongside other words derived from Fibonacci word. Fibonacci words over the alphabet $\{a,b\}$, we define a novel \emph{power} operation that yields a formal linear combination in the free abelian group generated by all finite words.
