Let $S_{a,b}$ denote the sequence of leading digits of $a^n$ in base $b$. It is well known that if $a$ is not a rational power of $b$, then the sequence $S_{a,b}$ satisfies Benford's Law; that is, digit $d$ occurs in $S_{a,b}$ with…

We construct automata with input(s) in base $k$ recognizing some basic relations and study their number of states. We also consider some basic operations on $k$-automatic sequences $(h(i))_{i \geq 0}$ and discuss their state complexity. We…

We study the linear algebra of finite subsets $S$ of a Segre variety $X$. In particular we classify the pairs $(S,X)$ with $S$ linear dependent and $\#(S)\le 5$. We consider an additional condition for linear dependent sets (no two of their…

We study structure of pure morphic and morphic sequences and prove the following result: the subword complexity of arbitrary morphic sequence is either $\Theta(n^{1+1/k})$ for some $k\in\mathbb N$, or is $O(n \log n)$.

For a sequence of random structures with $n$-element domains over a relational signature, we define its first order (FO) complexity as a certain subset in the Banach space $\ell^{\infty}/c_0$. The well-known FO zero-one law and FO…

The automatic complexity of a finite word (string) is an analogue for finite automata of Sipser's distinguishing complexity (1983) and was introduced by Shallit and Wang (2001). For a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ of at least two elements, we…

We obtain bounds on fractional parts of binary forms of the shape $$\Psi(x,y)=\alpha_k x^k+\alpha_l x^ly^{k-l}+\alpha_{l-1}x^{l-1}y^{k-l+1}+\cdots+\alpha_0 y^k$$ with $\alpha_k,\alpha_l,\ldots,\alpha_0\in\mathbb{R}$ and $l\leq k-2.$ By…

For an irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, its kernel is defined as $\text{ker }\chi=\{g\in G: \chi(g)=\chi(1)\}$. In this paper we characterize the finite groups of prime power order(for odd prime) in which kernels of all…

We relate the computational complexity of finite strings to universal representations of their underlying symmetries. First, Boolean functions are classified using the universal covering topologies of the circuits which enumerate them. A…

For a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ modulo $q$, we define $M(\chi)=\max_{t } |\sum_{n \leq t} \chi(n)|$. In this paper, we study this quantity for characters of a fixed odd order $g\geq 3$. Our main result provides a further…

Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…

We establish new exponential in dimension lower bounds for the Maximum Halfspace Discrepancy problem, which models linear classification. Both are fundamental problems in computational geometry and machine learning in their exact and…

In this paper, we construct two generalized cyclotomic binary sequences of period $2p^{m}$ based on the generalized cyclotomy and compute their linear complexity, showing that they are of high linear complexity when $m\geq 2$.

The boundedness from $L^p \times L^q$ to $L^r$, $1<p,q \le \infty$, $0<1/p+1/q=1/r \le 1$, of bilinear pseudo-differential operators with symbols in the bilinear H\"ormander class $BS^m_{\rho,\rho}$, $0 \le \rho <1$, is proved for the…

For any real $k\geq 2$ and large prime $q$, we prove a lower bound on the $2k$-th moment of the Dirichlet character sum \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{\phi(q)} \sum_{\substack{\chi \text{ mod }q\\ \chi\neq \chi_0}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x}…

We consider the problem of evaluation of the weight enumerator of a binary linear code. We show that the exact evaluation is hard for polynomial hierarchy. More exactly, if WE is an oracle answering the solution of the evaluation problem…

Assume that for some $\alpha<1$ and for all nutural $n$ a set $F_n$ of at most $2^{\alpha n}$ "forbidden" binary strings of length $n$ is fixed. Then there exists an infinite binary sequence $\omega$ that does not have (long) forbidden…

Cyclotomic polynomials are basic objects in Number Theory. Their properties depend on the number of distinct primes that intervene in the factorization of their order, and the binary case is thus the first nontrivial case. This paper sees…

We study the set $\mathcal{S}$ of odd positive integers $n$ with the property ${2n}/{\sigma(n)} - 1 = 1/x$, for positive integer $x$, i.e., the set that relates to odd perfect and odd "spoof perfect" numbers. As a consequence, we find that…

This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal…
