We introduce a new logic, called \emph{cluster first-order logic}, a restricted fragment of first-order logic specifically designed to study order invariance. An order-invariant formula is one on a vocabulary that contains an order;…
Pre-trained word embeddings are widely used for transfer learning in natural language processing. The embeddings are continuous and distributed representations of the words that preserve their similarities in compact Euclidean spaces.…
We study infinite words fixed by a morphism and their derived words. A derived word is a coding of return words to a factor. We exhibit two examples of sets of morphisms which are closed under derivation --- any derived word with respect to…
The parametrization theorem is derived in a flat nD pseudo-complex affine space. The pseudo-complex hyperbolic space accomodates n-number of uncompactified time-like extra dimensions with sugnature (s,r), where s and r are the numbers of…
The aim of this paper is to present a new simple recurrence for Appell and Sheffer sequences in terms of the linear functional that defines them, and to explain how this is equivalent to several well-known characterizations appearing in the…
In [A. Frid, S. Puzynina, L.Q. Zamboni, \textit{On palindromic factorization of words}, Adv. in Appl. Math. 50 (2013), 737-748], it was conjectured that any infinite word whose palindromic lengths of factors are bounded is ultimately…
For a fixed integer N, and fixed numbers b_1,...,b_N, we consider sequences, the nth term (a_n) of which is the sum of the squares of the terms in the expansion of (b_1 + ... + b_N)^n. In the case all b_i=1, we give a formula for a…
Bidirectional models are considered essential for strong text embeddings. Recent approaches to adapt autoregressive language models (LMs) into strong text embedding models have largely had the requirement to modify the LM architecture to be…
As an extension of Polya's classical result on random walks on the square grids ($\Z^d$), we consider a random walk where the steps, while still have unit length, point to different directions. We show that in dimensions at least 4, the…
We say that a family $\mathcal{W}$ of strings over $\Sigma^+$ forms a Unique Maximal Factorization Family (UMFF) if and only if every $w \in \mathcal{W}$ has a unique maximal factorization. Further, an UMFF $\mathcal{W}$ is called a…
A necklace is an equivalence class of words of length $n$ over an alphabet under the cyclic shift (rotation) operation. As a classical object, there have been many algorithmic results for key operations on necklaces, including counting,…
We consider bivariate polynomials orthogonal on the bicircle with respect to a positive linear functional. The lexicographical and reverse lexicographical orderings are used to order the monomials. Recurrence formulas are derived between…
We study recurrence, and multiple recurrence, properties along the $k$-th powers of a given set of integers. We show that the property of recurrence for some given values of $k$ does not give any constraint on the recurrence for the other…
The rectangle capacity, a word statistic that was recently introduced by the author and Mansour, counts, for two fixed positive integers $r$ and $s$, the number of occurrences of a rectangle of size $r\times s$ in the bargraph…
We investigate polynomials that satisfy simultaneous orthogonality conditions with respect to several measures on the unit circle. We generalize the direct and inverse Szeg\H{o} recurrence relations, identify the analogues of the Verblunsky…
Word embeddings are ubiquitous in NLP and information retrieval, but it is unclear what they represent when the word is polysemous. Here it is shown that multiple word senses reside in linear superposition within the word embedding and…
We introduce the notion of general prints of a word, which is substantialized by certain canonical decompositions, to study repetition in words. These associated decompositions, when applied recursively on a word, result in what we term as…
Answering a recent question of Patchell and Spiro, we show that when a $d$-dimensional cube of side length $n$ is filled with letters, the word $\mathsf{CAT}$ can appear contiguously at most $(3^{d-1}/2)n^d$ times (allowing diagonals); we…
A wide variety of intricate dynamics may be created at border-collision bifurcations of piecewise-smooth maps, where a fixed point collides with a surface at which the map is nonsmooth. For the border-collision normal form in two…
We show how the existence of three objects, $\Omega_{\rm trap}$, ${\bf W}$, and $C$, for a continuous piecewise-linear map $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^N$, implies that $f$ has a topological attractor with a positive Lyapunov exponent. First,…
