Two sets $A, B \subseteq \{0, 1\}^n$ form a Uniquely Decodable Code Pair (UDCP) if every pair $a \in A$, $b \in B$ yields a distinct sum $a+b$, where the addition is over $\mathbb{Z}^n$. We show that every UDCP $A, B$, with $|A| =…

We compare ordinary and symmetric variants of two classical measures of pseudorandomness for binary sequences, the $2$-adic complexity and the linear complexity. In the periodic setting, we show that for binary periodic sequences…

Generalized Davenport-Schinzel sequences are sequences that avoid a forbidden subsequence and have a sparsity requirement on their letters. Upper bounds on the lengths of generalized Davenport-Schinzel sequences have been applied to a…

Both the first-order signal statistics (e.g. the outage probability) and the second-order signal statistics (e.g. the average level crossing rate, LCR, and the average fade duration, AFD) are important design criteria and performance…

Sequences with good correlation properties have been widely adopted in modern communications, radar and sonar applications. In this paper, we present our new findings on some constructions of single $H$-ary Golay sequence and $4^q$-QAM…

Sequences with low auto-correlation property have been applied in code-division multiple access communication systems, radar and cryptography. Using the inverse Gray mapping, a quaternary sequence of even length $N$ can be obtained from two…

We consider families F of sequences converging to +infinity that F satisfies the following condition (C): (C): if an open set U in the real line is unbounded above then there exists a sequence belonging to F, which has an infinite number of…

A finite family $\mathrsfs{F}$ of subsets of a finite set $X$ is union-closed whenever $f,g\in\mathrsfs{F}$ implies $f\cup g\in\mathrsfs{F}$. These families are well known because of Frankl's conjecture. In this paper we developed further…

For a prime $p$ and a polynomial $F(X,Y)$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements, we give upper bounds on the number of solutions $$ F(x,y)=0, \quad x\in\mathcal{A}, \ y\in \mathcal{B}, $$ where $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$…

We construct supplementary difference sets (SDS) with parameters $(72;36,30;30)$. These SDSs give periodic Golay pairs of length 72. No periodic Golay pair of length 72 was known previously. The smallest undecided order for periodic Golay…

Networks of coupled degrade-and-fire (DF) oscillators are simple dynamical models of assemblies of interacting self-repressing genes. For mean-field interactions, which most mathematical studies have assumed so far, every trajectory must…

This paper introduces an upper bound on the absolute difference between: (a) the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the sum of a finite number of independent and identically distributed random variables with finite absolute third…

We study the dynamics of a chain of coupled particles subjected to a restoring force (Klein-Gordon lattice) in the cases of either periodic or Dirichlet boundary conditions. Precisely, we prove that, when the initial data are of small…

This paper aims to search for new optimal and sub-optimal Odd Binary Z-Complimentary Pairs (OBZCPs) for lengths up to 49. As an alternative to the celebrated binary Golay complementary pairs, optimal OBZCPs are the best almost-complementary…

To find the non-standard binary Golay complementary sequences (GCSs) of length $2^{m}$ or theoretically prove the nonexistence of them are still open. Since it has been shown that all the standard $q$-ary (where $q$ is even) GCSs of length…

We colour the Fibonacci sequence by suitable constant gap sequences to provide an upper bound on the asymptotic repetitive threshold of $d$-ary balanced sequences. The bound is attained for $d=2, 4$ and $8$ and we conjecture that it happens…

We introduce several new constructions for perfect periodic autocorrelation sequences and arrays over the unit quaternions. This paper uses both mathematical proofs and com- puter experiments to prove the (bounded) array constructions have…

Let $G$ be a finite additive abelian group with exponent $n$ and $S=g_{1}\cdots g_{t}$ be a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$ and $A\subseteq\{1,2,\ldots,n-1\}$, let $N_{A,g}(S)$ denote the number of subsequences…

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…
