Abstract: In this paper, we study some periodicity concepts on words. First, we extend the notion of full tilings which was recently introduced by Karhumäki, Lifshits, and Rytter to partial tilings. Second, we investigate the notion of quasiperiods and show in particular that the set of quasiperiodic words is a context-sensitive language that is not context-free, answering a conjecture by Dömösi, Horváth and Ito.
