On avoidability of formulas with reversal
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 51 (2017) no. 4, pp. 181-189.

While a characterization of unavoidable formulas (without reversal) is well-known, little is known about the avoidability of formulas with reversal in general. In this article, we characterize the unavoidable formulas with reversal that have at most two one-way variables (x is a one-way variable in formula with reversal ϕ if exactly one of x and xR appears in ϕ).
