Let $T_{4p}=\langle a,b\mid a^{2p}=1,a^p=b^2, b^{-1}ab=a^{-1}\rangle$ be the dicyclic group of order $4p$. A Cayley digraph over $T_{4p}$ is called a dicirculant digraph. In this paper, we calculate the number of (connected) dicirculant…
In this paper, new families of quadriphase sequences with larger linear span and size have been proposed and studied. In particular, a new family of quadriphase sequences of period $2^n-1$ for a positive integer $n=em$ with an even positive…
We make effective $l^2 L^p$ decoupling for the parabola in the range $4 < p < 6$. In an appendix joint with Jean Bourgain, we apply the main theorem to prove the conjectural bound for the sixth-order correlation of the integer solutions of…
We study the discrete-time, real valued bounded process $\{X_n, n\in {\mathbb N} \}$ defined by a second order recurrence relation $X_{n+2} = \varphi(X_n,X_{n+1})$. We obtain the decay of correlations under analytical hypotheses on $\varphi…
We analyze a method to produce pairs of non independent Poisson processes $M(t),N(t)$ from positively correlated, self-decomposable, exponential renewals. In particular the present paper provides the family of copulas pairing the renewals,…
The results of Bergelson-Host-Kra and Leibman say that a multiple polynomial correlation sequence can be decomposed into a sum of a nilsequence (a sequence defined by evaluating a continuous function along an orbit in a nilsystem) and a…
Various problems in engineering and natural science demand binary sequences that do not resemble translates of themselves, that is, the sequences must have small aperiodic autocorrelation at every nonzero shift. If $f$ is a sequence, then…
We generalize results on the $p$-adic valuations of $S(n,k)$, the Stirling number of the second kind and $s(n,k)$ the Stirling number of the first kind. We have several new estimates for these valuations, along with criteria for when the…
Based on A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model simulations, the transverse momentum dependent decorrelation has been studied in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 2.76 and 5.02 TeV, respectively. It has been found that the mix-order…
A sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ exhibits Poissonian pair correlation if for all $s\geq0$, \begin{equation*} \lim_{N\to\infty} \frac{1}{N}\#\left\{1\leq m\neq n \leq N : |x_m-x_n| \leq \frac{s}{N}\right\} = 2s.…
We investigate a ratio sequence derived from the factorization of $p_{m-1} + 1$, where $p_n$ denotes the $n$th prime. For each $m \geq 3$, write $p_{m-1} + 1 = L_m R_m$ with $L_m$ the largest prime factor. Restricting to those $m$ for which…
Binary $m$-sequences are ones with the largest period $n=2^m-1$ among the binary sequences produced by linear shift registers with length $m$. They have a wide range of applications in communication since they have several desirable…
We examine the linear complexity and the autocorrelation properties of new quaternary cyclotomic sequences of period 2p. The sequences are constructed via the cyclotomic classes of order four.
Binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation and large linear complexity have important applications in cryptography and communications. Very recently, a class of binary sequences of period $4p$ with optimal autocorrelation was proposed…
We build on the work of Drakakis et al. (2011) on the maximal cross-correlation of the families of Welch and Golomb Costas permutations. In particular, we settle some of their conjectures. More precisely, we prove two results. First, for a…
For a prime $p\ge 5$ let $q_0,q_1,\ldots,q_{(p-3)/2}$ be the quadratic residues modulo $p$ in increasing order. We study two $(p-3)/2$-periodic binary sequences $(d_n)$ and $(t_n)$ defined by $d_n=q_n+q_{n+1}\bmod 2$ and $t_n=1$ if…
In this paper, for an even integer $n\geq 4$ and any positive integer $k$ with ${\rm gcd}(n/2,k)={\rm gcd}(n/2-k,2k)=d$ being odd, a class of $p$-ary codes $\mathcal{C}^k$ is defined and their weight distribution is completely determined,…
Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$th prime number. We define $p_{n}^{(k)}$ recursively as $p_{n}^{(1)}:=p_{n}$ and $p_{n}^{(k)}=p_{p_{n}^{(k-1)}}$, that is, $p_{n}^{(k)}$ is the $p_{n}^{(k-1)}$th prime. In this note we…
We derive heuristically the approximate formula for the difference $\sqrt{p_{n+1}} - \sqrt{p_n}$, where $p_n$ is the n-th prime. We find perfect agreement between this formula and the available data from the list of maximal gaps between…
In this paper, we show that the difference between the number of parts in the odd partitions of $n$ and the number of parts in the distinct partitions of $n$ satisfies Euler's recurrence relation for the partition function $p(n)$ when $n$…
