Drunken man infinite words complexity
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 42 (2008) no. 3, pp. 599-613.

In this article, we study the complexity of drunken man infinite words. We show that these infinite words, generated by a deterministic and complete countable automaton, or equivalently generated by a substitution over a countable alphabet of constant length, have complexity functions equivalent to n(log 2 n) 2 when n goes to infinity.
