Abstract
Given an ordered alphabet, a Lyndon word is a primitive word which is minimum in its conjugation class for lexicographical ordering. We give an algorithm which gives the list in order of all Lyndon words of a given length. The algorithm is optimal in the sense that computing each new Lyndon word in the list is done in linear time and with no auxiliary memory. As an application, we give a construction of a section of conjugation classes of given length. It is an answer to a question raised to the author by M.P. Schützenberger.
