Hi all,

>From wikipedia:

*In mathematics, in the areas of combinatorics and computer 
science, a Lyndon word is a string that is strictly smaller in 
lexicographic order than all of its rotations. Lyndon words are named after 
mathematician Roger Lyndon, who introduced them in 1954, calling them 
standard lexicographic sequences*

For example [1,1,2,1,3] is a Lyndon word, but [1,3,1,1,2] is not.

I need to check as efficiently as possible if a given integer sequence is a 
Lyndon word or not. Is there such an option in sage? 
I check the section for Lyndon words in the 
manual<http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/combinat/sage/combinat/lyndon_word.html>but
 apparently the only way one can check something like that, is in a 
situation like so:

sage: LyndonWord([2,1,2,3])Traceback (most recent call last):...ValueError: Not 
a Lyndon word
>
>
Is this my only option for checking if something is a Lyndon word? This 
suggests that there is inherently some check in this
function, but I do not want to use a ValueError for that..

Any advice?

Thank you in advance
