They are generalizations of Fibonacci words and are important in combinatorics on words. For Fibonacci words the asymptotic behaviour of the number of runs and the number of squares is the same. We show that for Sturmian words the situation is quite different. The tight bound [Formula: see text] for the number of runs was given in [3]. In this paper we show that the tight bound for the maximal number of squares is [Formula: see text]. We use the results of [11], where exact (but not closed) complicated formulas were given for sq(w) for [Formula: see text]. We show that for all [Formula: see text] we have [Formula: see text] and there is an infinite sequence of words [Formula: see text] such that lim <jats:sub>k\u2192\u221e<\/jats:sub> |w<jats:sub>k<\/jats:sub>| = \u221e and [Formula: see text]. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Surprisingly the maximal number of squares is reached by the words with recurrences of length only 5. This contrasts with the situation of Fibonacci words, though standard Sturmian words are natural extension of Fibonacci words. If this length drops to 4, the asymptotic behaviour of the maximal number of squares falls down significantly below [Formula: see text]. The structure of Sturmian words rich in squares has been discovered by us experimentally and verified theoretically. The upper bound is much harder, its proof is not a matter of simple calculations. The summation formulas for the number of squares are complicated, no closed formula is known. Some nontrivial reductions were necessary. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s012905411240014x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,20]],"date-time":"2012-03-20T10:19:15Z","timestamp":1332238755000},"page":"303-321","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOUR OF THE MAXIMAL NUMBER OF SQUARES IN STANDARD STURMIAN WORDS"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"MARCIN","family":"PIATKOWSKI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"WOJCIECH","family":"RYTTER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Informatics, Warsaw University, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511546563"},{"key":"rf2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3975(83)90109-3"},{"key":"rf4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0129054109007017"},{"key":"rf6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-0190(81)90024-7"},{"key":"rf7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcss.2007.09.003"},{"key":"rf8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-69068-9_27"},{"key":"rf9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01190846"},{"key":"rf10","volume-title":"Jewels of stringology","author":"Crochemore M.","year":"2003"},{"key":"rf11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0195-6698(03)00026-X"},{"key":"rf12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-3975(98)00252-7"},{"key":"rf13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/jcta.1997.2843"},{"key":"rf15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcta.2005.01.006"},{"key":"rf16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tcs.2007.03.025"},{"key":"rf17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-3975(96)00141-7"},{"key":"rf21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9781107341005"},{"key":"rf22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0166-218X(89)90051-6"},{"key":"rf23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0196-6774(84)90021-X"},{"key":"rf24","first-page":"165","volume":"4001","author":"Puglisi S.
