Linear second order recursive sequences with arbitrary initial conditions are studied. For sequences with the same parameters a ring and a group is attached, and isomorphisms and homomorphisms are established for related parameters. In the…
In this paper we formally define the family of sequences know as "Pea Pattern". We then analyse its behaviour and conditions for fixed and periodic points. The paper ends with a list of fixed points and cycles.
During the study of dual sequences, Sun introduced the polynomials \[ D_n(x,y)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}{x\choose k}y^k\text{ and } S_n(x,y)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{x}{k}\binom{-1-x}{k} y^k. \] Many related congruences have been…
First we define a new kind of function over $\mathbb{N}$. For each $i\in\mathbb{N}$ we have an associated function, which will be called $S_i$ . Then we define a new kind of sequence, to be made from the functions $S_i$ . Finally, we will…
We study the properties of the third order sequence $(w_n)=\left(w_n(a,b,c; r, s,t)\right)$ defined by the recurrence relation $w_n = rw_{n - 1} + sw_{n - 2} + tw_{n - 3}\, (n \ge 3)$ with $w_0 = a,\,w_1 = b,\,w_2=c$, where $a$, $b$, $c$,…
A finitization of the Catalan numbers $ C_n $ can be defined as Euler characteristics of an algebraic structure. We conjecture the existence of a $ q $-deformed version of such structure, and provide evidence for the first two non-trivial…
An approach to the enumeration of feasible parameters for strongly regular graphs is described, based on the pair of structural parameters (a,c) and the positive eigenvalue e. The Krein bound ensures that there are only finitely many…
We consider a general family of Carleson sequences associated with dyadic $A_2$ weights and find sharp -- or, in one case, simply best known -- upper and lower bounds for their Carleson norms in terms of the $A_2$-characteristic of the…
We consider Catalan-pair graphs, a family of graphs that can be viewed as representing certain interactions between pairs of objects which are enumerated by the Catalan numbers. In this paper we study random Catalan-pair graphs and deduce…
The paper studies frequency characteristics and predictability of real sequences, i.e., discrete time processes in deterministic setting. We consider band-limitness and predictability of one-sided sequences. We establish predictability of…
Motivated by representation theory we exhibit an interior structure to Catalan sequences and many generalisations thereof. Certain of these coincide with well known (but heretofore isolated) structures. The remainder are new.
Let C be a finite set of $N elements and R = {R_1,R_2, ..,R_m} a family of M subsets of C. The family R verifies the consecutive ones property if there exists a permutation P of C such that each R_i in R is an interval of P. There already…
We prove that certain families of homogenous affine iterated function systems in $\mathbb{R}^d$ have the property that the open set condition and the existence of exact overlaps both occur densely in the space of translation parameters.…
We explore a certain family $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of $n \times n$ tridiagonal real symmetric matrices. After deriving a three-term recurrence relation for the characteristic polynomials of this family, we find a closed form solution. The…
We study the classical H\'enon family $f_{a,b}:(x,y)\mapsto(1-ax^2+y,bx)$, $0<a<2$, $0<b<1$, and prove that given an integer $k\geq 1$, there is a set of parameters $E_k$ of positive two-dimensional Lebesgue measure so that $f_{a,b}$, for…
The $S$-adic conjecture claims that there exists a condition $C$ such that a sequence has a sub-linear complexity if and only if it is an $S$-adic sequence satisfying Condition $C$ for some finite set $S$ of morphisms. We present an…
For any relatively prime integers $r$ and $s$, let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of $(r,s)$-regular partitions of a positive integer of $n$ into distinct parts. Prasad and Prasad (2018) proved many infinite families of congruences modulo 2…
This document begins by reviewing recent progress that has been made by taking a combinatorial perspective on the $c_2$ invariant, an arithmetic graph invariant with connections to Feynman integrals. Then it proceeds to report on some…
Asymptotic properties of random graph sequences, like occurrence of a giant component or full connectivity in Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs, are usually derived with very specific choices for defining parameters. The question arises to which…
A generalization of the Catalan numbers is considered. New results include binomial identities, recursive relations and a close formula for the multivariate generating function. A simple expression for the Catalan determinant is derived.
