Jul 27, 2011 at 17:36 comment added user6976 @Gerhard: no, there are no restrictions on $k$, it can be arbitrary large. If you can construct a counterexample, it would be nice Although it would mean that this approximation of the original problem is not successful too, but nobody can guarantee that the answer to the original problem is positive either.
Jul 27, 2011 at 17:15 comment added Gerhard Paseman If k is much much larger than n, say about the square of the size of the number of group words of length at most n generated by two letters, then I think the answer is no by a simple construction of a disjoint union of pieces. Do you intend to have restrictions on k? Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.07.27
