In preference modelling, it is essential to determine the number of questions and their arrangements to ask from the decision maker. We focus on incomplete pairwise comparison matrices, and provide the optimal filling in patterns, which…
In this paper, we present a computational search for best-known merit factors of longer binary sequences with an odd length. Finding low autocorrelation binary sequences with optimal or suboptimal merit factors is a very difficult…
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…
Binary sequences with good autocorrelation properties and large linear complexity are useful in stream cipher cryptography. The Sidelnikov-Lempel-Cohn-Eastman (SLCE) sequences have nearly optimal autocorrelation. However, the problem of…
The aim of the present article is to introduce a concept which allows to generalise the notion of Poissonian pair correlation, a second-order equidistribution property, to higher dimensions. Roughly speaking, in the one-dimensional setting,…
Searches for statistically significant correlations between arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and classes of astrophysical objects are common in astroparticle physics. We present a method to test potential correlation…
The pair correlation statistic is an important concept in real uniform distribution theory. Therefore, sequences in the unit interval with (weak) Poissonian pair correlations have attracted a lot of attention in recent time. The aim of this…
In this paper we study pseudorandomness of a family of sequences in terms of two measures, the family complexity ($f$-complexity) and the cross-correlation measure of order $\ell$. We consider sequences not only on binary alphabet but also…
We say that a sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if \begin{equation*} \lim_{N \to \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left \lbrace 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N: \| x_l - x_m \| \leq \frac{s}{N} \right \rbrace = 2s…
In this paper we study almost $p$-ary sequences and their autocorrelation coefficients. We first study the number $\ell$ of distinct out-of-phase autocorrelation coefficients for an almost $p$-ary sequence of period $n+s$ with $s$…
We prove that any finite abelian group $G$ contains a collection of not too many subsets with a special structure, so that for every subset $A$ of $G$ with a small doubling, there is a member $F$ of the collection that is fully contained in…
Pairwise comparisons are an important tool of modern (multiple criteria) decision making. Since human judgments are often inconsistent, many studies focused on the ways how to express and measure this inconsistency, and several…
In some particular cases we give criteria for morphic sequences to be almost periodic (=uniformly recurrent). Namely, we deal with fixed points of non-erasing morphisms and with automatic sequences. In both cases a polynomial-time algorithm…
A collection of complex sequences of length v is complementary if the sum of their periodic autocorrelation function values at all non-zero shifts is constant. For a complex sequence A=[a_0,a_1,...,a_{v-1}] of length v=dm we define the…
In this note, we prove a criteria for supersingularity when the variety has a large automorphism group and a perfect bilinear pairing. This criteria unifies and extends many known results on the supersingularity of curves and varieties and…
Incomplete pairwise comparison matrices contain some missing judgements. A natural approach to estimate these values is provided by minimising a reasonable measure of inconsistency after unknown entries are replaced by variables. Two widely…
The pair correlations of the Thue--Morse sequence and system are revisited, with focus on asymptotic results on various means. First, it is shown that all higher-order correlations of the Thue--Morse sequence with general real weights are…
We say that a sequence $\{x_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if \begin{equation*} \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left\{ 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N \, : \, \left\lVert x_l-x_m \right\rVert < \frac{s}{N}…
The pair correlation is a localized statistic for sequences in the unit interval. Pseudo-random behavior with respect to this statistic is called Poissonian behavior. The metric theory of pair correlations of sequences of the form $(a_n…
We provide an interpretation of entanglement based on classical correlations between measurement outcomes of complementary properties: states that have correlations beyond a certain threshold are entangled. The reverse is not true, however.…
