The notion of transducer integer sequences is considered through a series of examples. By definition, transducer integer sequences are integer sequences produced, under a suitable interpretation, by finite automata encoding tree morphisms…
An integer sequence is called realizable if it is the count of periodic points of some map. The Fibonacci sequence $(F_n)$ does not have this property, and the Fibonacci sequence sampled along the squares $(F_{n^2})$ also does not have this…
In this paper we consider the long-term behavior of points in ${\mathbb R}$ under iterations of continuous functions. We show that, given any Cantor set $\Lambda^*$ embedded in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a continuous function $F^*:{\mathbb…
We prove that the sequence $(N_k)_k$, where each $N_k$ is defined as the smallest positive integer $n$ for which the $n$th term $g_{k,n}$ of the $k$-G\"obel sequence is not an integer, is unbounded.
We determine the maximal length of the period of a periodic word defined by $n$ restrictions. It happens to be the corresponding Fibonacci number.
Oftentimes the elements of a ring or semigroup $H$ can be written as finite products of irreducible elements, say $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k = v_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot v_{\ell}$, where the number of irreducible factors is distinct. The set…
An equivalent definition of the Fibonacci numbers is that they are the unique sequence such that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent terms. We can view this as we have bins of length 1, we can take at most one…
Polynomial sequences $p_n(x)$ of binomial type are a principal tool in the umbral calculus of enumerative combinatorics. We express $p_n(x)$ as a \emph{path integral} in the ``phase space'' $\Space{N}{} \times {[-\pi,\pi]}$. The Hamiltonian…
For a real number $\theta$, let $\Vert\theta\Vert$ denote the distance from $\theta$ to the nearest integer. A set of positive integers $\mathcal H$ is a Heilbronn set if for every $\alpha\in \mathbb R$ and every $\epsilon>0$ there exists…
Recently there is huge interest in graph theory and intensive study on computing integer powers of matrices. In this paper, we investigate relationships between one type of graph and well-known Fibonacci sequence. In this content, we…
Let $\UT_n(\FF_q)$ denote the group of unipotent $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over a finite field with $q$ elements. We show that the Heisenberg characters of $\UT_{n+1}(\FF_q)$ are indexed by lattice paths from the origin to the…
We present a bijection between non-crossing partitions of the set $[2n+1]$ into $n+1$ blocks such that no block contains two consecutive integers, and the set of sequences $\{s_{i}\}_{1}^{n}$ such that $1 \leq s_{i} \leq i$, and if…
We show that there exists a huge amount of multipartite entanglement in holography by studying the upper bound for holographic $n$-partite information $I_n$ that $n-1$ fixed boundary subregions participate. We develop methods to find the…
The Collatz map is defined for a positive even integer as half that integer, and for a positive odd integer as that integer threefold, plus one. The Collatz conjecture states that when the map is iterated the number one is eventually…
An integer Heffter array $H(m,n;s;k)$ is an $m\times n$ partially filled array whose entries are the elements of a subset $\Omega\subset \mathbb{Z}$ such that $\{\Omega,-\Omega\}$ is a partition of the set $\{1,2,\ldots,2nk\}$ and such that…
Motivated by Elementary Problem B-1172 in the Fibonacci Quarterly (vol. 53, no. 3, pg. 273), formulas for the areas of triangles and other polygons having vertices with coordinates taken from various sequences of integers are obtained. The…
We consider two division problems on narrow strips of square and hexagonal lattices. In both cases we compute the bivariate enumerating sequences and the corresponding generating functions, which allowed us to determine the asymptotic…
We introduce the fractal expansions, sequences of integers associated to a number. We show that these sequences characterize the O-sequences and encode some information on lex segment ideals. Moreover, we introduce a numerical functions…
In this paper, as an analogue of the integer case, we study detailedly the period and the rank of the generalized Fibonacci sequence of polynomials over a finite field modulo an arbitrary polynomial. We establish some formulas to compute…
A $K$-Fibonacci sequence is a binary recurrence sequence where $F_0=0$, $F_1=1$, and $F_n=K\cdot F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$. These sequences are known to be periodic modulo every positive integer greater than $1$. If the length of one shortest period…
