In a recent paper, Müllner and Ryzhikov posed a question about palindromic subwords of finite binary words which can be rephrased as follows: Given four equally long binary words of total length n, what is the size of a longest palindrome such that (i) q is a subword of and also of or (ii) q is a subword of and also of ? Müllner and Ryzhikov conjectured that the answer is at least . We disprove this conjecture, constructing sequences of words such that the longest palindromes have size . Additionally, we show that the longest palindromes have size at least .

关于有限二进制词的最长回文子词
在最近的一篇论文中,Müllner 和 Ryzhikov 提出了一个关于有限二进制词的回文子词的问题,可以改写如下:给定四个等长的二进制词 总长度为n,最长回文的大小是多少使得(i) q是 还有 或(ii) q是 还有 ? Müllner 和 Ryzhikov 推测答案至少是. 我们反驳这个猜想,构建单词序列 这样最长的回文有大小 . 此外,我们表明最长的回文至少有.
