Abstract
In this chapter we present the notion of overlap-free words and show how the number u n of overlap-free words of length n is ruled by joint spectral characteristics. We use these results to provide tight estimates on the asymptotic growth of u n . We provide new algorithms to estimate the joint spectral subradius and the Lyapunov exponent, that appear to be very efficient in practice.
