We consider the Consensus Patterns problem, where, given a set of input strings, one is asked to extract a long-enough pattern which appears (with some errors) in all strings. We prove that this problem is W[1]-hard when parameterized by…
A partially ordered (generalized) pattern (POP) is a generalized pattern some of whose letters are incomparable, an extension of generalized permutation patterns introduced by Babson and Steingrimsson. POPs were introduced in the symmetric…
We study some conditions for the hierarchy $m_{3/2} << M_P$ to occur naturally in a generic effective supergravity theory. Absence of fine-tuning and perturbative calculability require that the effective potential has a sliding gravitino…
Obtained a new property of superposition of the generating functions ln(1/(1-F(x))), where F(x) - generating function with integer coefficients, which allows the construction a primality tests. The theorem which is based on compositions of…
In combinatorics on words, a word $w$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is said to avoid a pattern $p$ over an alphabet $\Delta$ if there is no factor $f$ of $w$ such that $f= (p)$ where $h: \Delta^*\to\Sigma^*$ is a non-erasing morphism. A pattern…
We find the number of compositions over finite abelian groups under two types of restrictions: (i) each part belongs to a given subset and (ii) small runs of consecutive parts must have given properties. Waring's problem over finite fields…
Recently, Babson and Steingrimsson (see \cite{BS}) introduced generalized permutations patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. In this paper we study the generating…
Using notions of composita and composition of generating functions we obtain explicit formulas for Chebyshev polynomials, Legendre polynomials, Gegenbauer polynomials, Associated Laguerre polynomials, Stirling polynomials, Abel polynomials,…
We review some of the recent developments in the construction of $W$-string theories. These are generalisations of ordinary strings in which the two-dimensional ``worldsheet'' theory, instead of being a gauging of the Virasoro algebra, is a…
We fully investigate the symmetry breaking patterns occurring upon creation of composite non-Abelian strings: vortex strings in non-Abelian theories where different sets of colours have different amounts of flux. After spontaneous symmetry…
I describe how superstring theory may violate spin-statistics in an experimentally observable manner. Reviewing the basics of superstring interactions and how to utilize these to produce a statistical phase, I then apply these ideas to two…
In this paper, we study a composition of exponential generating functions. We obtain new properties of this composition, which allow to distinguish prime numbers from composite numbers. Using the result of paper we get the known properties…
In this paper, we consider the problem of designing DNA sequences (codewords) for DNA storage systems and DNA computing that are unlikely to fold back onto themselves to form undesirable secondary structures. The paper addresses both the…
A composition of a nonnegative integer (n) is a sequence of positive integers whose sum is (n). A composition is palindromic if it is unchanged when its terms are read in reverse order. We provide a generating function for the number of…
We compute the generating function for the characters of the irreducible representations of SU(n) whose associated Young diagrams have only two rows with the same number of boxes. The result is a rational determinantal expression in which…
A permutation is called layered if it consists of the disjoint union of substrings (layers) so that the entries decrease within each layer, and increase between the layers. We find the generating function for the number of permutations on…
We present a new approach to the problem of enumerating permutations of length n that avoid a fixed consecutive pattern of length m. We use this idea to give explicit upper and lower bounds on the number of permutations avoiding a pattern…
We find an explicit expression for the generating function of the number of permutations in S_n avoiding a subgroup of S_k generated by all but one simple transpositions. The generating function turns out to be rational, and its denominator…
In studying the formation of topological defects, it is conventional to assume the ``geodesic rule'' which is equivalent to minimizing gradients of the order parameter. This assumption has been called into question in field-theoretic…
An infinte word w avoids a pattern p with the involution t if there is no substitution for the variables in p and no involution t such that the resulting word is a factor of w. We investigate the avoidance of patterns with respect to the…
