The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of integers in which every number after the first two, 0 and 1, is the sum of the two preceding numbers. These numbers are well known and algorithms to compute them are so easy that they are often used…
Many proofs in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are based on the probabilistic method. To prove the existence of a good object, we pick a random object and show that it is bad with low probability. This method is…
In this paper we classify the Zeckendorf expansions according to their digit blocks. It turns out that if we consider these digit blocks as labels on the Fibonacci tree, then the numbers ending with a given digit block in their Zeckendorf…
Suffix trees are one of the most versatile data structures in stringology, with many applications in bioinformatics. Their main drawback is their size, which can be tens of times larger than the input sequence. Much effort has been put into…
One of the most fundamental topics in subspace coding is to explore the maximal possible value ${\bf A}_q(n,d,k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ such that the subspace distance satisfies $\operatorname{d_S}(U,V) =…
This paper explores the design of convolutional codes for varying constraint lengths, focusing on their role in error correction in digital communication systems. Convolutional codes are essential in achieving reliable data transmission…
Constant dimension codes, with a prescribed minimum distance, have found recently an application in network coding. All the codewords in such a code are subspaces of $\F_q^n$ with a given dimension. A computer search for large constant…
There are several data structures which can calculate the prefix sums of an array efficiently, while handling point updates on the array, such as Segment Trees and Binary Indexed Trees (BIT). Both these data structures can handle the these…
In this paper we study the Fibonacci numbers and derive some interesting properties and recurrence relations. We prove some charecterizations for $F_p$, where $p$ is a prime of a certain type. We also define period of a Fibonacci sequence…
A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers $\{F_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. Lekkerkerker proved that the average number of summands for integers in $[F_n,…
Constant dimension codes are e.g. used for error correction and detection in random linear network coding, so that constructions for these codes have achieved wide attention. Here, we improve over 150 lower bounds by describing better…
Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer has a unique representation as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Once this has been shown, it's natural to ask how many summands are needed. Using a continued fraction approach,…
We study $B(n;k)$, the number of ways of writing $n$ as a sum or difference of the first $k$ Fibonacci numbers. We show that $B(0;k)$ satisfies the Tribonacci-like recurrence $B(0;k+1)=B(0;k)+B(0;k-1)+B(0;k-2)$ and that $B(n;k)$ satisfies a…
Echelon-Ferrers is an important method to improve lower bounds for constant-dimension codes, which can be applied on various parameters. Fagang Li [12] combined the linkage construction and echelon-Ferrers to obtain some new lower bounds of…
Neural codes are lists of subsets of neurons that fire together. Of particular interest are neurons called place cells, which fire when an animal is in specific, usually convex regions in space. A fundamental question, therefore, is to…
Non-uniquely decodable codes can be defined as the codes that cannot be uniquely decoded without additional disambiguation information. These are mainly the class of non-prefix-free codes, where a codeword can be a prefix of other(s), and…
Self-dual codes are important because many of the best codes known are of this type and they have a rich mathematical theory. Topics covered in this survey include codes over F_2, F_3, F_4, F_q, Z_4, Z_m, shadow codes, weight enumerators,…
Two classes of turbo codes over high-order finite fields are introduced. The codes are derived from a particular protograph sub-ensemble of the (dv=2,dc=3) low-density parity-check code ensemble. A first construction is derived as a…
As a variant of Zeckendorf's theorem, Chung and Graham proved that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed into a sum of even-indexed Fibonacci numbers, whose coefficients are either $0, 1$, or $2$ so that between two coefficients…
Neural codes, represented as collections of binary strings called codewords, are used to encode neural activity. A code is called convex if its codewords are represented as an arrangement of convex open sets in Euclidean space. Previous…
