Periodicity problem of substitutions over ternary alphabets
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 42 (2008) no. 4, pp. 747-762.

In this paper, we characterize the substitutions over a three-letter alphabet which generate a ultimately periodic sequence.
