In 1966, Semenov, by using a technique based on power series, suggested an algorithm that tells apart the languages described by an unambiguous grammar and a DFA. At the first glance, it may appear that the algorithm can be easily modified…

Solving math word problem (MWP) with AI techniques has recently made great progress with the success of deep neural networks (DNN), but it is far from being solved. We argue that the ability of learning by analogy is essential for an MWP…

The primary goal of this paper is to complete the theory of metric Diophantine approximation initially developed in [Ann. of Math.(2) 166 (2007), p.367-426] for $C^3$ non-degenerate planar curves. With this goal in mind, here for the first…

By the theory of elliptic curves, we study the nontrivial rational parametric solutions and rational solutions of the Diophantine equations $z^2=f(x)^2 \pm f(y)^2$ for some simple Laurent polynomials $f$.

Given two languages, a separator is a third language that contains the first one and is disjoint from the second one. We investigate the following decision problem: given two regular input languages of finite words, decide whether there…

We study dynamical systems arising from word maps on simple groups. We develop a geometric method based on the classical trace map for investigating periodic points of such systems. These results lead to a new approach to the search of…

An important unsolved problem in Diophantine number theory is to establish a general method to effectively find all solutions to any given $S$-unit equation with at least four terms. Although there are many works contributing to this…

The idea of using measure theoretic concepts to investigate the size of number theoretic sets, originating with E. Borel, has been used for nearly a century. It has led to the development of the theory of metrical Diophantine approximation,…

We report the fourth known primitive solution to the Diophantine equation $a^5 + b^5 + c^5 + d^5 = e^5$, extending the list of solutions from 1966, 1996, and 2004. This result was obtained via a large-scale computational search based on an…

In [1] it is shown that the Diophantine equation $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$ only has the trivial solution $n=k$, and $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ only has the solutions $n=k$, $(n, k)=(1, 2),$ and $(2, 1)$. In this article we find all solutions of…

The computational complexity of the isomorphism problem for regular trees, regular linear orders, and regular words is analyzed. A tree is regular if it is isomorphic to the prefix order on a regular language. In case regular languages are…
