Convex source support of string coefficient components #
The forward partial-bijection relation linearly orders each generated coefficient component. Every source-word index between two component vertices is therefore represented by a unique component vertex.
Two vertices in one coefficient component are comparable by forward reachability.
Component comparability is oriented by the order of source indices.
Every integer index between the endpoints of a forward coefficient walk occurs along that walk.
A forward walk whose input indices differ by exactly one is a single forward edge.
A forward coefficient walk is contained in the original matched-step component.
The source-index projection of a coefficient component is a convex interval: every index between two supported indices is supported.
Transposition identifies a component support with the corresponding component support for the reversed word pair.
Instances For
The target-index projection of a coefficient component is also a convex interval.
A forward coefficient edge changes the target-word index by one in one of the two directions.
The target direction cannot turn across two consecutive forward edges. Such a turn would repeat a target position inside one component.
Along a nonempty forward chain, the target index has one constant slope; the final edge records the same slope as the endpoint formula.
Endpoints of a nonempty forward chain have target displacement equal in absolute value to their source displacement.
The same constant-slope formula, including the reflexive chain.
Within one coefficient component, ordering by source index identifies the component correspondence with an interval map of constant slope one or minus one.
