Abstract

In this article we propose a simple method to estimate the complexity of a finite word written over a finite alphabet. We use the notion of subword complexity (which is equal to the number of different subwords in the word) as a starting point and show the computation difficulties connected with the usage of subword complexity. To avoid them we propose a new simple measure of a word's complexity, which turned out to be not only easy to compute, but also more precise than classical subword complexity.
