Popis: A partial word is a string over a finite alphabet with some undefined places which are known as holes or “do not know” symbols. A partial word w is said to be primitive if there does not exist any word v such that w is contained in \(v^n\) with \(n \ge 2\). We investigate the effect of a point mutation on primitive partial words with a single hole. We characterize a special class of such words, del-robust primitive partial words with one hole, that remains primitive on deletion of any symbol or the hole. We identify some important properties of such words and prove that the language of non-del-robust primitive partial words with one hole is not context-free. Finally we approximate the counting of del-robust primitive partial words with one hole for a fixed length.
