We conceive finite automata as dynamical systems on discontinuum and investigate their factors. Factors of finite automata include many well-known simple dynamical systems, e.g. hyperbolic systems and systems with finite attractors. In the…
We make certain bounds in Krebs' proof of Cobham's theorem explicit and obtain corresponding upper bounds on the length of a common prefix of an aperiodic $a$-automatic sequence and an aperiodic $b$-automatic sequence, where $a$ and $b$ are…
We argue that simple dynamical systems are factors of finite automata, regarded as dynamical systems on discontinuum. We show that any homeomorphism of the real interval is of this class. An orientation preserving homeomorphism of the…
In this work we extend our study on a link between automaticity and certain algebraic power series over finite fields. Our starting point is a family of sequences in a finite field of characteristic $2$, recently introduced by the first…
We prove that the uniform recurrence of morphic sequences is decidable. For this we show that the number of derived sequences of uniformly recurrent morphic sequences is bounded. As a corollary we obtain that uniformly recurrent morphic…
We describe a framework for systematic enumeration of families combinatorial structures which possess a certain regularity. More precisely, we describe how to obtain the differential equations satisfied by their generating series. These…
We study the $k$-Bonacci word over the infinite alphabet $\mathbb{N}$. Since the alphabet is infinite, the usual factor complexity is infinite and does not provide any information. We therefore investigate factor occurrence statistics in…
Drawing inspiration from a recent paper of Heuberger, Krenn, and Lipnik, we define the class of strongly k-recursive sequences. We show that every k-automatic sequence is strongly $k$-recursive, therefore k-recursive, and discuss that the…
We study recurrence, and multiple recurrence, properties along the $k$-th powers of a given set of integers. We show that the property of recurrence for some given values of $k$ does not give any constraint on the recurrence for the other…
In this study, several interesting iterative sequences were investigated. First, we define the iterative sequences. We fix function f(n). An iterative sequence starts with a natural number n, and calculates the sequence f(n),f(f(n)),…
Sequence theories are an extension of theories of strings with an infinite alphabet of letters, together with a corresponding alphabet theory (e.g. linear integer arithmetic). Sequences are natural abstractions of extendable arrays, which…
Dynamical systems at the edge of chaos, which have been considered as models of self-organization phenomena, are marked by their ability to perform nontrivial computations. To distinguish them from systems with limited computing power, we…
We present a first-order theory of sequences with integer elements, Presburger arithmetic, and regular constraints, which can model significant properties of data structures such as arrays and lists. We give a decision procedure for the…
Congruences for stochastic automata are defined, the correspondin factor automata are constructed and investigated for automata ove analytic spaces. We study the behavior under finite and infinite streams. Congruences consist of multiple…
We consider numeration systems based on a $d$-tuple $\mathbf{U}=(U_1,\ldots,U_d)$ of sequences of integers and we define $(\mathbf{U},\mathbb{K})$-regular sequences through $\mathbb{K}$-recognizable formal series, where $\mathbb{K}$ is any…
This paper introduces a class of objects called decision rules that map infinite sequences of alternatives to a decision space. These objects can be used to model situations where a decision maker encounters alternatives in a sequence such…
In this short note we show that a k-automatic sequence and a Sturmian sequence cannot have arbitrarily large factors in common.
History-deterministic automata are those in which nondeterministic choices can be correctly resolved stepwise: there is a strategy to select a continuation of a run given the next input letter so that if the overall input word admits some…
An automatic sequence is a letter-to-letter coding of a fixed point of a uniform morphism. More generally, we have morphic sequences, which are letter-to-letter codings of fixed points of arbitrary morphisms. There are many examples where…
In the following pages we discuss infinite sequences defined on a finite alphabet, and more specially those which are generated by finite automata. We have divided our paper into seven parts which are more or less self-contained. Needless…
