We study the computational and descriptional complexity of the following transformation: Given a one-counter automaton (OCA) A, construct a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) B that recognizes an abstraction of the language L(A): its…
The integer complexity $f(n)$ of a positive integer $n$ is defined as the minimum number of 1's needed to represent $n$, using additions, multiplications and parentheses. We present two simple and faster algorithms for computing the integer…
Following Inoue et al., we define a word to be a repetition if it is a (fractional) power of exponent at least 2. A word has a repetition factorization if it is the product of repetitions. We study repetition factorizations in several…
The Krohn-Rhodes complexity theory for pure (without linearity) automata is well-known. This theory uses an operation of wreath product as a decomposition tool. The main goal of the paper is to introduce the notion of complexity of linear…
In this work we introduce a new notion called opacity complexity to measure the complexity of automatic sequences. We study basic properties of this notion, and exhibit an algorithm to compute it. As applications, we compute the opacity…
Constantinescu and Ilie (Bulletin EATCS 89, 167--170, 2006) introduced the notion of an \emph{Abelian period} of a word. A word of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can have $\Theta(n^{2})$ distinct Abelian periods. The…
We construct an automaton group with a PSPACE-complete word problem, proving a conjecture due to Steinberg. Additionally, the constructed group has a provably more difficult, namely EXPSPACE-complete, compressed word problem and acts over a…
A word is called a reset word for a deterministic finite automaton if it maps all the states of the automaton to a unique state. Deciding about the existence of a reset word of a given maximum length for a given automaton is known to be an…
The complexity $\Vert n\Vert$ of a natural number is the least number of $1$ needed to represent $n$ using the 5 symbols $(, ), *, +, 1$. A natural number $n$ is called stable is $\Vert 3^kn\Vert =\Vert n\Vert +3k$. For each natural number…
Champarnaud and Ziadi, and Khorsi et al. show how to compute the equation automaton of word regular expression $E$ via the $k$-C-Continuations. Kuske and Meinecke extend the computation of the equation automaton to a regular tree expression…
We show that there is no automaton accepting the Tribonacci representations of $n$ and $x$ in parallel, where $\psi = 1.839\cdots$ is the Tribonacci constant, and $x= \lfloor n \psi \rfloor$. Similarly, there is no Tribonacci automaton…
Abelian periodicity of strings has been studied extensively over the last years. In 2006 Constantinescu and Ilie defined the abelian period of a string and several algorithms for the computation of all abelian periods of a string were…
Let $S_{a,b}$ denote the sequence of leading digits of $a^n$ in base $b$. It is well known that if $a$ is not a rational power of $b$, then the sequence $S_{a,b}$ satisfies Benford's Law; that is, digit $d$ occurs in $S_{a,b}$ with…
We study structure of pure morphic and morphic sequences and prove the following result: the subword complexity of arbitrary morphic sequence is either $\Theta(n^{1+1/k})$ for some $k\in\mathbb N$, or is $O(n \log n)$.
In this paper we consider the set ${\mathbb Z}^{\pm\omega}_{6}$ of two-way infinite words $\xi$ over the alphabet $\{0,1,2,3,4,5\}$ with the integer left part $\lfloor\xi\rfloor$ and the fractional right part $\{\xi\}$ separated by a radix…
Many research works have concerned normality-preserving selection rules and operations on the sequence of digits of a given normal number that maintain or violate normality. This leads us to introduce rearrangement operations on finite…
The symbolic complexity of an infinite word $W$ is the function $p_W(l)$ counting the number of different subwords in $W$ of length $l$. In this paper our main purpose is to study the complexity for a class of topological dynamical systems,…
We introduce the Insertion Chain Complex, a higher-dimensional extension of insertion graphs, as a new framework for analyzing finite sets of words. We study its topological and combinatorial properties, in particular its homology groups,…
The complexity of an infinite word can be measured in several ways, the two most common measures being the subword complexity and the abelian complexity. In 2015, Rigo and Salimov introduced a family of intermediate complexities indexed by…
We examine the complexity of basic regular operations on languages represented by Boolean and alternating finite automata. We get tight upper bounds m+n and m+n+1 for union, intersection, and difference, 2^m+n and 2^m+n+1 for concatenation,…
