We look at the number $L(n)$ of $O$-sequences of length $n$. Recall that an $O$-sequence can be defined algebraically as the Hilbert function of a standard graded $k$-algebra, or combinatorially as the $f$-vector of a multicomplex. The…
In this work we investigate greedy energy sequences on the unit circle for the logarithmic and Riesz potentials. By definition, if $(a_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is a greedy $s$-energy sequence on the unit circle, the Riesz potential…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive integers to be the degree sequence of a 3-connected simple graph are detailed. Conditions are also given under which such a sequence is necessarily 3-connected i.e. the sequence…
Binary search trees (BSTs) with rotations can adapt to various kinds of structure in search sequences, achieving amortized access times substantially better than the Theta(log n) worst-case guarantee. Classical examples of structural…
Let A be any set of positive integers and n a positive integer. A composition of n with parts in A is an ordered collection of one or more elements in A whose sum is n. We derive generating functions for the number of compositions of n with…
This paper studies the iterates of the third order Lyness' recurrence $x_{k+3}=(a+x_{k+1}+x_{k+2})/x_k,$ with positive initial conditions, being $a$ also a positive parameter. It is known that for $a=1$ all the sequences generated by this…
Sequence models are a critical component of modern NLP systems, but their predictions are difficult to explain. We consider model explanations though rationales, subsets of context that can explain individual model predictions. We find…
Szemeredi's regularity lemma is an important tool in graph theory which has applications throughout combinatorics. In this paper we prove an analogue of Szemeredi's regularity lemma in the context of abelian groups and use it to derive some…
Let $n$ and $\ell$ be positive integers. Recent papers by Kreher, Stinson and Veitch have explored variants of the problem of ordering the points in a triple system (such as a Steiner triple system, directed triple system or Mendelsohn…
Each acyclic graph, and more generally, each acyclic orientation of the graph associated to a Cartan matrix, allows to define a so-called frise; this is a collection of sequences over the positive natural numbers, one for each vertex of the…
The notion of a $(k,n)$-frieze pattern was introduced by the author as a generalisation of the classical frieze patterns. In this article we describe connections between classes of $(3,n)$-frieze patterns and classes of…
An inversion sequence of length $n$ is an integer sequence $(a_1, \ldots, a_n)$ such that $0 \le a_i < i$ for all $i$. The study of pattern-avoiding inversion sequences was initiated in 2015 by Mansour and Shattuck and in 2016 by Corteel,…
Inspired by the surprising relationship (due to A. Bird) between Schreier sets and the Fibonacci sequence, we introduce Schreier multisets and connect these multisets with the $s$-step Fibonacci sequences, defined, for each $s\geqslant 2$,…
Taking inspiration from [1, 21, 24], we develop a general framework to deal with the model theory of open incidence structures. In this first paper we focus on the study of systems of points and lines (rank $2$). This has a number of…
Let (G, +) be an abelian group. A subset of G is sumfree if it contains no elements x, y, z such that x +y = z. We extend this concept by introducing the Schur degree of a subset of G, where Schur degree 1 corresponds to sumfree. The…
An automatic sequence is a letter-to-letter coding of a fixed point of a uniform morphism. More generally, we have morphic sequences, which are letter-to-letter codings of fixed points of arbitrary morphisms. There are many examples where…
We classify the ultrahomogeneous complete 3-edge-coloured graphs (3-graphs) with simple theory. This extends Lachlan's result (a corollary of the Effective Classification Theorem for stable structures) classifying the stable homogeneous…
Exploiting an iterative formula already introduced in a previous manuscript to count the number $O_d$ of finite $O$-sequences of multiplicity $d$, we obtain some new information about $O_d$. Letting $A_d$ be the number of the finite…
Semi-regular sequences over $\mathbb{F}_2$ are sequences of homogeneous elements of the algebra $ B^{(n)}=\mathbb{F}_2[X_1,...,X_n]/(X_1^2,...,X_n^2) $, which have as few relations between them as possible. They were introduced in order to…
A graph G = (V,E) is called fully regular if for every independent set $I\subset V$ , the number of vertices in $V\setminus$ I that are not connected to any element of I depends only on the size of I. A linear ordering of the vertices of G…
