In this paper, we give recurrence relations and identities for some integer sequences related to Ward numbers such as Ward-Lah numbers, varied Ward numbers and binomial Ward numbers. Most of the sequences are entered in the On-Line…

There are several standard procedures used to create new sequences from a given sequence or from a given pair of sequences. In this paper I discuss the most popular of these procedures. For each procedure, I give a definition and provide…

We study the problem of generating interesting integer sequences with a combinatorial interpretation. For this we introduce a two-step approach. In the first step, we generate first-order logic sentences which define some combinatorial…

In this paper, we first give a new result characterizing the strongly connected digraphs with a diameter equal to that of their line digraphs. Then, we introduce the concepts of the inner diameter and inner radius of a digraph and study…

We study the integer sequence v_n of numbers of lines in hypersurfaces of degree 2n-3 of P^n, n>1. We prove a number of congruence properties of these numbers of several different types. Furthermore, the asymptotics of the v_n are described…

The EKG or electrocardiogram sequence is defined by a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2 and, for n >= 3, a(n) is the smallest natural number not already in the sequence with the property that gcd {a(n-1), a(n)} > 1. In spite of its erratic local behavior,…

The discrete distribution of the length of longest increasing subsequences in random permutations of $n$ integers is deeply related to random matrix theory. In a seminal work, Baik, Deift and Johansson provided an asymptotics in terms of…

Inversion sequences of length $n$, $\mathbf{I}_n$, are integer sequences $(e_1, \ldots, e_n)$ with $0 \leq e_i < n$ for each $i$. The study of patterns in inversion sequences was initiated recently by Mansour-Shattuck and…

We investigate a method of generating a graph $G=(V,E)$ out of an ordered list of $n$ distinct real numbers $a_1, \dots, a_n$. These graphs can be used to test for the presence of interesting structure in the sequence. We describe sequences…

We study representations of integers as sums of the form $\pm a_1\pm a_2\pm \dotsb \pm a_n$, where $a_1,a_2,\ldots$ is a prescribed sequence of integers. Such a sequence is called an Erd\H{o}s-Sur\'anyi sequence if every integer can be…
