In this paper, we study some properties of associated sequences of special polynomials. From the properties of associated sequences of polynomials, we derive some interesting identities of special polynomials.
The main goal of this paper is to study the different definitions of generating sequences appearing in the literature. We present these definitions and show that under certain situations they are equivalent. We also present an example that…
A derangement is a permutation with no fixed point, and a nonderangement is a permutation with at least one fixed point. There is a one-term recurrence for the number of derangements of $n$ elements, and we describe a bijective proof of…
Sequences diverge either because they head off to infinity or because they oscillate. Part 1 constructs a non-Archimedean framework of infinite numbers that is large enough to contain asymptotic limit points for non-oscillating sequences…
We generalize the class of split graphs to the directed case and show that these split digraphs can be identified from their degree sequences. The first degree sequence characterization is an extension of the concept of splittance to…
Probabilistic submeasures generalizing the classical (numerical) submeasures are introduced and discussed in connection with some classes of aggregation functions. A special attention is paid to triangular norm-based probabilistic…
Given an alphabet $S$, we consider the size of the subsets of the full sequence space $S^{\rm {\bf Z}}$ determined by the additional restriction that $x_i\not=x_{i+f(n)},\ i\in {\rm {\bf Z}},\ n\in {\rm {\bf N}}.$ Here $f$ is a positive,…
We study the properties of the third order sequence $(w_n)=\left(w_n(a,b,c; r, s,t)\right)$ defined by the recurrence relation $w_n = rw_{n - 1} + sw_{n - 2} + tw_{n - 3}\, (n \ge 3)$ with $w_0 = a,\,w_1 = b,\,w_2=c$, where $a$, $b$, $c$,…
We examine the convergence properties of sequences of nonnegative real numbers that satisfy a particular class of recursive inequalities, from the perspective of proof theory and computability theory. We first establish a number of results…
The classical rearrangement inequality provides bounds for the sum of products of two sequences under permutations of terms and show that similarly ordered sequences provide the largest value whereas opposite ordered sequences provide the…
We prove an intermediate value theorem of an arithmetical flavor, involving the consecutive averages of sequences with terms in a given finite set A. For every such set we completely characterize the numbers x ("intermediate values") with…
A perspective of statistical language models which emphasizes their collocational aspect is advocated. It is suggested that strings be generalized in terms of classes of relationships instead of classes of objects. The single most important…
Shannon information (SI) and its special case, divergence, are defined for a DNA sequence in terms of probabilities of chemical words in the sequence and are computed for a set of complete genomes highly diverse in length and composition.…
The law of large numbers is one of the most fundamental results in Probability Theory. In the case of independent sequences, there are some known characterizations; for instance, in the independent and identically distributed setting it is…
We investigate general properties of number sequences which allow explicit representation in terms of products. We find that such sequences form whole families of number sequences sharing similar recursive identities. Restricting to the…
In many situations, the decision maker observes items in sequence and needs to determine whether or not to retain a particular item immediately after it is observed. Any decision rule creates a set of items that are selected. We consider…
The first author introduced a sequence of polynomials (\cite{8}, sequence A174531) defined recursively. One of the main results of this study is proof of the integrality of its coefficients.
Convergent sequences of real numbers play a fundamental role in many different problems in system theory, e.g., in Lyapunov stability analysis, as well as in optimization theory and computational game theory. In this survey, we provide an…
A vocabulary is a list of words designating subsets from a grand set X. We model a vocabulary as a partition of X and study the aggregation of individual vocabularies into a collective one. We characterize aggregation rules when X is…
An infinite family of Boolean polynomials which correspond to the discrete average maps, defined in [2], is constructed and their algebraic and combinatorial properties are investigated. They turn out to be balanced, and some recurrence…
