Sidorov and Vershik showed that in base $G=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$ and with the digits $0,1$ the numbers $x=nG ~(\text {mod} 1)$ have $\aleph_{0}$ expansions for any $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, while the other elements of $(0, \frac{1}{G-1})$ have…

We define Poisson genericity for infinite sequences in any finite or countable alphabet with an invariant exponentially-mixing probability measure. A sequence is Poisson generic if the number of occurrences of blocks of symbols…

We revisit the golden sieve, a self-referential deletion process on increasing sequences of positive integers introduced by the author in 2002. Applied to the natural numbers, the sieve produces the Wythoff pair as a Beatty partition. For…

We fully classify completely multiplicative sequences which are given by generalised polynomial formulae, and obtain a similar result for (not necessarily completely) multiplicative sequences under the additional restriction that the…

An integer of the form $P_m(x)= \frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ for an integer $x$, is called a generalized $m$-gonal number. For positive integers $\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_u$ and $\beta_1,\dots,\beta_v$, a mixed sum…

We consider a generalization of the quaternion ring $\Big(\frac{a,b}{R}\Big)$ over a commutative unital ring $R$ that includes the case when $a$ and $b$ are not units of $R$. In this paper, we focus on the case $R=\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$…

A $d$-subsequence of a sequence $\varphi = x_1\dots x_n$ is a subsequence $x_i x_{i+d} x_{i+2d} \dots$, for any positive integer $d$ and any $i$, $1 \le i \le n$. A \textit{$k$-Thue sequence} is a sequence in which every $d$-subsequence,…

We study generalized Fibonacci sequences $F_{n+1}=PF_n-QF_{n-1}$ with initial values $F_0=0$ and $F_1=1$. Let $P,Q$ be nonzero integers such that $P^2-4Q$ is not a perfect square. We show that if $Q=\pm 1$ then the sequence…

Finding the $n$-th positive square number is easy, as it is simply $n^2$. But how do we find the complementary sequence, i.e., the $n$-th positive non-square number? For this case there is an explicit formula. However, for general…

Fathi and Pageault have recently shown a connection between Auslander's generalized recurrent set $GR(f)$ and Easton's strong chain recurrent set. We study $GR(f)$ by examining that connection in more detail, as well as connections with…

Suppose that $\alpha_1, \alpha_2,\beta_1, \beta_2 \in\mathbb{R}$. Let $\alpha_1, \alpha_2 > 1$ be irrational and of finite type such that $1, \alpha_1^{-1}, \alpha_2^{-1}$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $c$ be a real number…
