Marked D0L systems and the \(2n\)-conjecture. (English) Zbl 1242.68145

Summary: We show that to test the equivalence of two D0L sequences over an \(n\)-letter alphabet generated by marked morphisms it suffices to compare the first \(2n+1\) initial terms of the sequences. Under an additional condition it is enough to consider the 2n initial terms.
