This note was motivated by natural questions related to oriented percolation on a layered environment that introduces long range dependence. As a convenient tool, we are led to deal with questions on the strict decrease of the percolation…
We bound the change in entropy incurred by an irreducible subshift of finite type upon perturbing it by forbidding a pair of admissible words. Lind has proven such bounds in the one-word case, and we adapt his methods. In particular, we…
The numbers we study in this paper are of the form $B_{n, p}(k)$, which is the number of binary words of length $n$ that contain the word $p$ (as a subsequence) exactly $k$ times. Our motivation comes from the analogous study of pattern…
We discuss the following type of results about critical Bernoulli percolation in high dimensions: The collection of clusters that do contain large (self-avoiding) loops in a large box is tight. The collection of these large loops has…
In this paper we introduce and study new notions of uniform recurrence in multidimensional words. A $d$-dimensional word is called \emph{uniformly recurrent} if for all $(s_1,\ldots,s_d)\in\mathbb{N}^d$ there exists $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such…
We use a probabilistic method to produce some combinatorial inequalities by considering pattern containment in permutations and words.
Models of bags of words typically assume topic mixing so that the words in a single bag come from a limited number of topics. We show here that many sets of bag of words exhibit a very different pattern of variation than the patterns that…
In this paper we introduce and study a new complexity measure for finite words. For positive integer $d$ special scattered subwords, called super-$d$-subwords, in which the gaps are of length at least $(d-1)$, are defined. We give methods…
The paper explores combinatorial properties of Fibonacci words and their generalizations within the framework of combinatorics on words. These infinite sequences, measures the diversity of subwords in Fibonacci words, showing non-decreasing…
An infinite word is an infinite Lyndon word if it is smaller, with respect to the lexicographic order, than all its proper suffixes, or equivalently if it has infinitely many finite Lyndon words as prefixes. A characterization of binary…
A set X of partial words over a finite alphabet A is called unavoidable if every two-sided infinite word over A has a factor compatible with an element of X. Unlike the case of a set of words without holes, the problem of deciding whether…
We revisit the problem of local persistence in directed percolation, reporting improved estimates of the persistence exponent in 1+1 dimensions, discovering strong corrections to scaling in higher dimensions, and investigating the mean…
The existence (or not) of infinite clusters is explored for two stochastic models of intersecting line segments in $d \ge 2$ dimensions. Salient features of the phase diagram are established in each case. The models are based on site…
We study the structure of the language of binary cube-free words. Namely, we are interested in the cube-free words that cannot be infinitely extended preserving cube-freeness. We show the existence of such words with arbitrarily long finite…
We relate the computational complexity of finite strings to universal representations of their underlying symmetries. First, Boolean functions are classified using the universal covering topologies of the circuits which enumerate them. A…
This paper explores the link between the ergodicity of the clus-ter equivalence relation restricted to its infinite locus and the indis-tinguishability of infinite clusters. It is an important element of the dictionary connecting orbit…
In this paper we study the enumeration and the construction, according to the number of ones, of particular binary words avoiding a fixed pattern. The growth of such words can be described by particular jumping and marked succession rules.…
We introduced the notation of a set of prohibitions and give definitions of a complete set and a crucial word with respect to a given set of prohibitions. We consider 3 particular sets which appear in different areas of mathematics and for…
The word inference problem is to determine languages such that the information on the number of occurrences of those subwords in the language can uniquely identify a word. A considerable amount of work has been done on this problem, but the…
This paper proposes an alternative language for expressing results of the algorithmic theory of randomness. The language is more precise in that it does not involve unspecified additive or multiplicative constants, making mathematical…
