We study the expressive power of polynomial recursive sequences, a nonlinear extension of the well-known class of linear recursive sequences. These sequences arise naturally in the study of nonlinear extensions of weighted automata, where…
Two factorizations of a permutation into products of cycles are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by repeatedly interchanging adjacent disjoint factors. This paper studies the enumeration of equivalence classes under this…
We show that very simple continued fractions can be obtained for the ordinary generating functions enumerating permutations or D-permutations with a large number of independent statistics, when each cycle is given a weight $-1$. The proof…
An integer sequence that is defined by initial values and a linear recurrence with constant integer coefficients, can be represented by the difference of two arithmetic terms containing exponentiation. All constants occuring in the term are…
In this paper, we construct two classes of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ with odd characteristic from rational R\'{e}dei functions. A complete characterization of their compositional inverses is also given. These…
In this paper we give an alternative exposition of a recent paper regarding the classification of growth rates of real functions. We take a different point of view, focussing on understanding possible growth rates between polynomial and…
A permutation is said to be \emph{alternating} if it starts with rise and then descents and rises come in turn. In this paper we study the generating function for the number of alternating permutations on $n$ letters that avoid or contain…
We investigate combinatorial properties of a kind of insets we defined in an earlier paper, interpreting them now in terms of restricted ternary words. This allows us to give new combinatorial interpretations of a number of known integer…
The Exponential Formula allows one to enumerate any class of combinatorial objects built by choosing a set of connected components and placing a structure on each connected component which depends only on its size. There are multiple…
We study the distribution of the number of permutations with a given periodic up-down sequence w.r.t. the last entry, find exponential generating functions and prove asymptotic formulas for this distribution.
The exponential functional of simple, symmetric random walks with negative drift is an infinite polynomial $Y = 1 + \xi_1 + \xi_1 \xi_2 + \xi_1 \xi_2 \xi_3 + ...$ of independent and identically distributed non-negative random variables. It…
We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…
We develop the technique of reduced word manipulation to give a range of results concerning reduced words and permutations more generally. We prove a broad connection between pattern containment and reduced words, which specializes to our…
We obtain several estimates for bilinear form with exponential sums with binomials $mx^k + nx^\ell$. In particular we show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums when the coefficients $m$ and $n$ vary over rather sparse…
We present an accurate investigation of the algebraic conditions that the symbols of a convergent, univariate, binary, non-stationary subdivision scheme should fulfill in order to reproduce spaces of exponential polynomials. A subdivision…
It is known that the number of overlap-free binary words of length n grows polynomially, while the number of cubefree binary words grows exponentially. We show that the dividing line between polynomial and exponential growth is 7/3. More…
In 1978, Allan.Wm.Johnson obtained an example of the representation of 1 by the sum of reciprocals of the product of two distinct prime numbers. His example has 48 terms [1], and we had no examples which have less than 48 terms until now.…
There have been several efforts to extend distributional semantics beyond individual words, to measure the similarity of word pairs, phrases, and sentences (briefly, tuples; ordered sets of words, contiguous or noncontiguous). One way to…
We present a function that tests for primality, factorizes composites and builds a closed form expression of $\pi(n^2)$ in terms of $\sum_{3 \leq p \leq n} \frac{1}{p}$ and a weaker version of $\omega(n)$.
We give estimates for the convolution product of an arbitrary number of endlessly continuable functions. This allows us to deal with nonlinear operations for the corresponding resurgent series, e.g. substitution into a convergent power…
