Constructions of binary sequences with low autocorrelation are considered in the paper. Based on recent progresses about this topic, several more general constructions of binary sequences with optimal autocorrelations and other low…
Correlation analysis is a fundamental problem in statistics. In this paper, we consider the correlation detection problem between a pair of Erdos-Renyi graphs. Specifically, the problem is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under…
For each of the $15$ known sporadic Ap\'ery-like sequences, we prove congruences modulo $p^2$ that are natural extensions of the Lucas congruences modulo $p$. This extends a result of Gessel for the numbers used by Ap\'ery in his proof of…
In this paper, we define double almost-Riordan arrays and find that the set of all double almost-Riordan arrays forms a group, called the double almost-Riordan group. We also obtain the sequence characteristics of double almost-Riordan…
We introduce near triple arrays as binary row-column designs with at most two consecutive values for the replication numbers of symbols, for the intersection sizes of pairs of rows, pairs of columns and pairs of a row and a column. Near…
It is known that Hall's sextic residue sequence has some desirable features of pseudorandomness: an ideal two-level autocorrelation and linear complexity of the order of magnitude of its period $p$. Here we study its correlation measure of…
Almost periodicity has been considered in Formal Language Theory in connection with some topics in Symbolic Dynamics. In (P\u{a}un and Marcus, Bulletin of EATCS 53 (1994)) some problems concerning this property are raised. For instance it…
We study random graphs, both $G(n,p)$ and $G(n,m)$, with random orientations on the edges. For three fixed distinct vertices s,a,b we study the correlation, in the combined probability space, of the events a -> s and s -> b. For G(n,p), we…
We prove that constant minimum degree already forces cycles with almost linearly many chords. Specifically, every graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\ge C$ contains a cycle of length $\ell\ge 4$ with $\Omega(\ell/\log^{C}\ell)$ chords for some…
A kind of self-dual quasi-abelian codes of index $2$ over any finite field $F$ is introduced. By counting the number of such codes and the number of the codes of this kind whose relative minimum weights are small, such codes are proved to…
We study the relationship between two measures of pseudorandomness for families of binary sequences: family complexity and cross-correlation measure introduced by Ahlswede et al.\ in 2003 and recently by Gyarmati et al., respectively. More…
In this paper, we introduce a concept of statistically $p$-quasi-Cauchyness of a real sequence in the sense that a sequence $(\alpha_{k})$ is statistically $p$-quasi-Cauchy if $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{n}|\{k\leq n:…
Zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequences and Golay sequences are two kinds of sequences with different preferable correlation properties. It was shown by Gong \textit{et al.} and Chen \textit{et al.} that some Golay sequences also possess a…
Motivated by a connection between semi-regular relative difference sets and mutually unbiased bases, we study relative difference sets with parameters $(m,n,m,m/n)$ in groups of non-prime-power orders. Let $p$ be an odd prime. We prove that…
The Ap\'ery numbers may be defined by a cubic three-term recurrence relation, that is, a three-term relation where the coefficients are polynomials in the index of degree $3$. In this work, we first provide a systematic review of Ap\'ery…
We study subgraphs of Paley graphs of prime order $p$ induced on the sets of vertices extending a given independent set of size $a$ to a larger independent set. Using a sufficient condition proved in the author's recent companion work, we…
In this article we introduce a class of discontinuous almost automorphic functions which appears naturally in the study of almost automorphic solutions of differential equations with piecewise constant argument. Their fundamental properties…
A generic uniformly distributed sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $[0,1)$ possesses Poissonian pair correlations (PPC). Vice versa, it has been proven that a sequence with PPC is uniformly distributed. Grepstad and Larcher gave an…
This paper surveys some recent results and progress on the extremal prob- lems in a given set consisting of all simple connected graphs with the same graphic degree sequence. In particular, we study and characterize the extremal graphs…
We investigate asymptotically optimal multiple testing procedures for streams of sequential data in the context of prior information on the number of false null hypotheses ("signals"). We show that the "gap" and "gap-intersection"…
