Abstract: Rote words are infinite words that contain 2n factors of length n for every n ≥ 1. Shallit and Shur, as well as Ollinger and Shallit, showed that there are Rote words that avoid (5/2)+-powers and that this is best possible. In this note we give a structure theorem for the Rote words that avoid (5/2)+-powers, confirming a conjecture of Ollinger and Shallit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
