Let a be an irrational number with 0 < a < 1. Using the continued fraction expansion of a, the class of a-words is introduced. It contains certain sequences of words that are known to relate to the characteristic sequence f(a) of a. When a = (v'~-1)/2, a-words are precisely the Fibonacci words. In t
We formalize the notion of a factorization of a word, a so-called S-factorization, introduced in [7] when solving some open problems on word equations. We show that most of the factorizations considered in the literature fit well into that framework, and in particular that central algorithmic proble
