We construct an example of an iterated function system on the line, consisting of linear fractional transformations, such that two of the maps share a fixed points, but the dimension of the attractor equals the conformal dimension, so that…
We compute the average shape of trajectories of some one--dimensional stochastic processes x(t) in the (t,x) plane during an excursion, i.e. between two successive returns to a reference value, finding that it obeys a scaling form. For…
We investigate a functional equation which resembles the functional equation for the generating function of a lattice walk model for the quarter plane. The interesting feature of this equation is that its orbit sum is zero while its…
Given a one-dimensional shift $X$, let $|F_X(\ell)|$ be the number of follower sets of words of length $\ell$ in $X$. We call the sequence $\{|F_X(\ell)|\}_{\ell \in \mathbb{N}}$ the follower set sequence of the shift $X$. Extender sets are…
In the past decade, a lot of attention has been devoted to the enumera-tion of walks with prescribed steps confined to a convex cone. In two dimensions, this means counting walks in the first quadrant of the plane (possibly after a linear…
We provide new interpretations for a subset of Raney numbers, involving threshold sequences and Motzkin-like paths with long up and down steps. Given three integers n, k, l such that n >= 1, k >= 2 and 0 <= l <= k-2, a (k,l)-threshold…
A functional limit theorem is established for the partial-sum process of a class of stationary sequences which exhibit both heavy tails and long-range dependence. The stationary sequence is constructed using multiple stochastic integrals…
We introduce a transformation for converting a series in a parameter, \lambda, to a series in the inverse of the parameter \lambda^{-1}. By applying the transform on simple examples, it becomes apparent that there exist relations between…
A variety of network modeling problems begin by generating a degree sequence drawn from a given probability distribution. If the randomly generated sequence is not graphic, we give a new approach for generating a graphic approximation of…
Here, we investigate the solutions to equation \[f(f(-x)+x)=f(-f(x))+f(x),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}\] that are prescribed on the non-positive half-line. We will refer to this prescribed function as the generator of the corresponding solution.…
In queuing theory, it is usual to have some models with a "reset" of the queue. In terms of lattice paths, it is like having the possibility of jumping from any altitude to zero. These objects have the interesting feature that they do not…
We define a function by refining Stern's diatomic sequence. We name it the {\it assembly function}. It is strictly increasing continuous. The first and the second main theorems are on an action to the function. The third theorem is on…
Recent work has shown that Transformers trained from scratch can successfully solve various arithmetic and algorithmic tasks, such as adding numbers and computing parity. While these Transformers generalize well on unseen inputs of the same…
Every binary De~Bruijn sequence of order n satisfies a recursion 0=x_n+x_0+g(x_{n-1}, ..., x_1). Given a function f on (n-1) bits, let N(f; r) be the number of functions generating a De Bruijn sequence of order n which are obtained by…
In this note, we explore links between Riordan arrays and lattice paths. We begin by describing Riordan arrays, and some of their generalizations, including rectifications and triangulations. We the consider Riordan array links to lattice…
In this note we illustrate and develop further with mathematics and examples, the work on successive standardization (or normalization) that is studied earlier by the same authors in Olshen and Rajaratnam (2010) and Olshen and Rajaratnam…
Adding a column of numbers produces "carries" along the way. We show that random digits produce a pattern of carries with a neat probabilistic description: the carries form a one-dependent determinantal point process. This makes it easy to…
We consider the $\alpha$-sine transform of the form $T_\alpha f(y)=\int_0^\infty\vert\sin(xy)\vert^\alpha f(x)dx$ for $\alpha>-1$, where $f$ is an integrable function on $\mathbb{R}_+$. First, the inversion of this transform for $\alpha>1$…
Owing to their versatility, graph structures admit representations of intricate relationships between the separate entities comprising the data. We formalise the notion of connection between two vertex sets in terms of edge and vertex…
The Hankel transform of an integer sequence is a much studied and much applied mathematical operation. In this note, we extend the notion in a natural way to sequences of $d$ integer sequences. We explore links to generalized continued…
