[#R29] The balanced four-letter family has finite maxima at most 60
claim. Freedman and Brown determine the longest good words for four-letter sets satisfying the endpoint-sum equation; the ten primitive normalized reflection classes with maximum letter at most 8 have maxima between 50 and 60.
1Summary
This packet uses balanced family as shorthand for normalized four-letter alphabets A={0<a<b<c} satisfying 0+c=a+b. Freedman and Brown determine g(A), the maximum length of an additive-square-free finite word, for this family. For the ten primitive normalized representatives with c<=8 after identifying A with c-A, the ordered maxima are 50,55,55,55,60,60,60,58,60,60 for 0123,0134,0145,0235,0156,0167,0257,0347,0178,0358.
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: four-letter integer alphabets satisfying the Freedman-Brown endpoint-sum equation.
