We consider Rote words, which are infinite binary words with factor complexity $2n$. We prove that the repetition threshold for this class is $5/2$. Our technique is purely computational, using the Walnut theorem prover and a new technique…

In this letter, we prove that under mild conditions, the scaled graph of a reset control system is bounded by the scaled graph of its underlying base linear system, i.e., the system without resets. Building on this new insight, we establish…

It is easy to see that every $q$-edge-colouring of the complete graph on $2^q+1$ vertices must contain a monochromatic odd cycle. A natural question raised by Erd\H{o}s and Graham in $1973$ asks for the smallest $L(q)$ such that every…

We colour the Fibonacci sequence by suitable constant gap sequences to provide an upper bound on the asymptotic repetitive threshold of $d$-ary balanced sequences. The bound is attained for $d=2, 4$ and $8$ and we conjecture that it happens…

For a set of integers $I$, we define a $q$-ary $I$-cycle to be a assignment of the symbols 1 through $q$ to the integers modulo $q^n$ so that every word appears on some translate of $I$. This definition generalizes that of de Bruijn cycles,…

An edge-coloring of a graph G is acyclic if it is a proper edge-coloring of G and every cycle contains at least three colors. We prove that every graph with maximum degree Delta has an acyclic edge-coloring with at most 4 Delta - 4 colors,…

The process of renormalization to eliminate divergences arising in quantum field theory is not uniquely defined; one can always perform a finite renormalization, rendering finite perturbative results ambiguous. The consequences of making…

We study the fidelity of the surface code in the presence of correlated errors induced by the coupling of physical qubits to a bosonic environment. By mapping the time evolution of the system after one quantum error correction cycle onto a…

Periodically-driven systems are ubiquitous in science and technology. In quantum dynamics, even a small number of periodically-driven spins leads to complicated dynamics. Hence, it is of interest to understand what constraints such dynamics…

Pulse-coupled threshold units serve as paradigmatic models for a wide range of complex systems. When the state variable of a unit crosses a threshold, the unit sends a pulse that is received by other units, thereby mediating the…

In this paper we study threshold coloring of graphs, where the vertex colors represented by integers are used to describe any spanning subgraph of the given graph as follows. Pairs of vertices with near colors imply the edge between them is…

The \v{C}ern\'y's conjecture states that for every synchronizing automaton with n states there exists a reset word of length not exceeding (n-11)^2. We prove this conjecture for a class of automata preserving certain properties of intervals…

The class of known constraint automata for which the constrained synchronization problem is in NP all admit a special form. In this work, we take a closer look at them. We characterize a wider class of constraint automata that give…
