Titre / Title: Sur le problème de l'égalité des facteurs dans les mots morphiques
Abstract : The subword equivalence problem is the question whether two infinite words have the same finite factors (subwords).We show that, under mild hypotheses, the decidability of the subword equivalence problem implies the decidability of the $\omega$-sequence equivalence problem, a problem which has been shown to be decidable by Culik and Harju for morphic words (i. e. words generated by iterating a morphism). We prove that the subword equivalence problem is decidable for two morphic words, provided the morphisms are primitive and have bounded delays. We also prove that the subword equivalence problem is decidable for any pair of morphic words in the case of a binary alphabet. Our results hold in fact for a stronger version, namely for the subword inclusion problem.
