Fellow Traveler Property
π
:
L
→
G
is a surjection, where
L
is regular.
L
has the fellowtraveler property if for any two word
w
,
w
∈
L
, such that
π
(
w
)
and
π
(
w
)
differs by one generator
x
, the distance between
w
,
w
at time
t
is on is at most a constant
m
apart. Let thesmallest of the constants be
K
.The distance between
w
,
w
,
d
(
w
,
w
)
is defined as thedistance of
π
(
w
)
,π
(
w
)
in the Cayley graph.
w
at time
t
, denoted as
w
(
t
)
, is the prefix of
w
with length
t
.If
t
≥
len
(
w
)
,
w
(
t
) =
w
.
