We consider the problem of finding repetitive structures and inherent patterns in a given string $\s{s}$ of length $n$ over a finite totally ordered alphabet. A border $\s{u}$ of a string $\s{s}$ is both a prefix and a suffix of $\s{s}$…

We consider a long but finite (ladder) circuit with alternating connections of resistors in series and parallel and derive an explicit expression for its equivalent resistance as a function of the number of repeating blocks, $R_{\rm…

In this paper, we first prove that for any strong divisibility sequences $\boldsymbol{a} = \left(a_n\right)_{n\geq 1}$, we have the identity: $\mathrm{lcm} \left\lbrace \binom{n}{0}_{\bf{a}}, \binom{n}{1}_{\bf{a}},\dots,…

For a sequence $\gamma=(\gamma_n)_{n\ge 1}$, define \[ L_\gamma(z):=\sum_{n\ge 1}\gamma_n\frac{z^n}{1-z^n} =\sum_{n\ge 1}\Bigl(\sum_{d\mid n}\gamma_d\Bigr)z^n. \] We prove a short rigidity theorem: if $\gamma$ is eventually linearly…

Sequence of positive integers $\{x_n\}_{n\geq1}$ is called similar to $\mathbb {N}$ respectively a given property $A$ if for every $n\geq1$ the numbers $x_n$ and $n$ are in the same class of equivalence respectively $A\enskip(x_n\sim n…

The detailed behaviour of a system is often represented as a labelled transition system (LTS) and the abstract behaviour as a stuttering-insensitive semantic congruence. Numerous congruences have been presented in the literature. On the…

In this survey we summarize properties of pseudorandomness and non-randomness of some number-theoretic sequences and present results on their behaviour under the following measures of pseudorandomness: balance, linear complexity,…

For a large class of expanding maps of the interval, we prove that partial sums of Lipschitz observables satisfy an almost sure central limit theorem (ASCLT). In fact, we provide a speed of convergence in the Kantorovich metric. Maxima of…

We present a novel asynchronous hyper linear time temporal logic named LPrL (Linear Time Predicate Logic) and establish its basic theory. LPrL is a natural first order extension of LTL (Linear time temporal logic), in which the predicates…

Consider a mixing dynamical systems $([0,1], T, \mu)$, for instance a piecewise expanding interval map with a Gibbs measure $\mu$. Given a non-summable sequence $(m_k)$ of non-negative numbers, one may define $r_k (x)$ such that $\mu (B(x,…

We show that almost split sequences in the category of comodules over a coalgebra with finite-dimensional right-hand term are direct limits of almost split sequences over finite dimensional subcoalgebras. In previous work we showed that…

Let $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ be a nondegenerate linear recurrence of integers, and let $\mathcal{A}$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that $u_n$ and $n$ are relatively prime. We prove that $\mathcal{A}$ has an asymptotic density, and that…

A quasi-hereditary algebra is an algebra equipped with a certain partial order $\unlhd$ on its simple modules. Such a partial order -- called a quasi-hereditary structure -- gives rise to a characteristic tilting module $T_{\unlhd}$ by a…

Recursive neural networks (RNN) and their recently proposed extension recursive long short term memory networks (RLSTM) are models that compute representations for sentences, by recursively combining word embeddings according to an…

For almost a century, the decidability of the Skolem Problem - that is, the problem of finding whether a given linear recurrence sequence (LRS) has a zero term - has remained open. A breakthrough in the 1980s established that the Skolem…

Simple methods permit to generalize the concepts of iteration and of recursive processes. We shall see briefly on several examples what these methods generate. In additive sequences, we shall encounter not only the golden or the silver…

Szemeredi's regularity lemma can be viewed as a rough structure theorem for arbitrary dense graphs, decomposing such graphs into a structured piece (a partition into cells with edge densities), a small error (corresponding to irregular…

For a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ of real numbers and for a parameter $0<p<1$, we define the sequence of its arithmetic means $\{a^*_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ and the sequence of its $p$-binomial means $\{a^p_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ as \begin{align*}…

A minor of a matrix is quasi-principal if it is a principal or an almost-principal minor. The quasi principal rank characteristic sequence (qpr-sequence) of an $n\times n$ symmetric matrix is introduced, which is defined as $q_1 q_2 \cdots…

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…
