We propose new concepts in order to analyze and model the dependence structure between two time series. Our methods rely exclusively on the order structure of the data points. Hence, the methods are stable under monotone transformations of…
We study the factor complexity and closure properties of automatic sequences based on Parry or Bertrand numeration systems. These automatic sequences can be viewed as generalizations of the more typical $k$-automatic sequences and…
For a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a sequence $x \in \mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{N}}$, Kamae and Zamboni defined the maximal pattern complexity function $p^*_x(n)$ as a natural generalization of usual word complexity. They defined a…
We call a simplicial complex algebraically rigid if its Stanley-Reisner ring admits no nontrivial infinitesimal deformations, and call it inseparable if does not allow any deformation to other simplicial complexes. Algebraically rigid…
Regular sequences are natural generalisations of fixed points of constant-length substitutions on finite alphabets, that is, of automatic sequences. Using the harmonic analysis of measures associated with substitutions as motivation, we…
The asynchronous systems f are multi-valued functions, representing the non-deterministic models of the asynchronous circuits from the digital electrical engineering. In real time, they map an 'admissible input' function…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a collection of 3-element subsets $S$ of $\{1, \ldots,n\}$ with the property that if $i<j<k$ and $a<b<c$ are two 3-element subsets in $S$, then there exists an integer sequence $x_1 < x_2 < \cdots < x_n$ such that $x_i,…
We consider the triangle-free process: given an integer n, start by taking a uniformly random ordering of the edges of the complete n-vertex graph K_n. Then, traverse the ordered edges and add each traversed edge to an (initially empty)…
For the Riesz and logarithmic energies, we consider a greedy sequence $(a_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ of points on the unit circle $S^1$ constructed in such a way that for every integer $N\geq 2$, the energy of the configuration…
A satisfaction class is a set of nonstandard sentences respecting Tarski's truth definition. We are mainly interested in full satisfaction classes, i.e., satisfaction classes which decides all nonstandard sentences. Kotlarski, Krajewski and…
Sequences of numbers (either natural integers, or integers or rational) of level $k \in \mathbb{N}$ have been defined in \cite{Fra05,Fra-Sen06} as the sequences which can be computed by deterministic pushdown automata of level $k$. This…
Tight bounds on the block entropy of patterns of sequences generated by independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) sources are derived. A pattern of a sequence is a sequence of integer indices with each index representing the order of…
We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…
A $d$-subsequence of a sequence $\varphi = x_1\dots x_n$ is a subsequence $x_i x_{i+d} x_{i+2d} \dots$, for any positive integer $d$ and any $i$, $1 \le i \le n$. A \textit{$k$-Thue sequence} is a sequence in which every $d$-subsequence,…
The notion of $b$-regular sequences was generalized to abstract numeration systems by Maes and Rigo in 2002. Their definition is based on a notion of $\mathcal{S}$-kernel that extends that of $b$-kernel. However, this definition does not…
A sequence in an additively written abelian group is called zero-free if each of its nonempty subsequences has sum different from the zero element of the group. The article determines the structure of the zero-free sequences with lengths…
We show that any automatic sequence can be separated into a structured part and a Gowers uniform part in a way that is considerably more efficient than guaranteed by the Arithmetic Regularity Lemma. For sequences produced by strongly…
We define and study the categorical sequence of a space, which is a new formalism that streamlines the computation of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a space X by induction on its CW skeleta. The k-th term in the categorical sequence…
Aronson's sequence 1, 4, 11, 16, ... is defined by the English sentence ``t is the first, fourth, eleventh, sixteenth, ... letter of this sentence.'' This paper introduces some numerical analogues, such as: a(n) is taken to be the smallest…
Central, standard, and Christoffel words are three strongly interrelated classes of binary finite words which represent a finite counterpart of characteristic Sturmian words. A natural arithmetization of the theory is obtained by…
