FindTransientRepeat

FindTransientRepeat[list,n]

returns a pair of lists {transient,repeat} where the elements of repeat occur successively at least n times after the elements of the transient part of list.

FindTransientRepeat[string,n]

returns a pair of strings {transient,repeat}.

Details and Options

  • In FindTransientRepeat[list,n], n must be a positive integer.
  • FindTransientRepeat[list,1] returns {{},repeat}, where repeat is the shortest repeated part found in list, or list itself if no repetition is found.
  • FindTransientRepeat[list,n,SameTest->test] applies test to each pair of elements in list to determine whether they should be considered the same.

Generalizations & Extensions  (1)

FindTransientRepeat can detect an incomplete copy of the repeated sublist in the last position:

The minimum number of repetitions refers to complete repetitions:

Properties & Relations  (4)

When no repeated part exists, FindTransientRepeat returns its first argument and an empty list:

When no repeated part satisfies the condition on the number of occurrences, FindTransientRepeat returns its first argument and an empty list:

FindTransientRepeat returns the pair of sublists {transient,repeat} for which transient has a minimum length:

FindTransientRepeat finds the transient part and the repeated part of an expression:

FindRepeat expects a periodic expression:

When an expression has no transient part, FindRepeat[expr,n] is identical to Last[FindTransientRepeat[expr,n]]:
