Given a sequence $s=(s_1,s_2,\ldots)$ of positive integers, the inversion sequences with respect to $s$, or $s$-inversion sequences, were introduced by Savage and Schuster in their study of lecture hall polytopes. A sequence…

The ``comma sequence'' starts with 1 and is defined by the property that if k and k' are consecutive terms, the two-digit number formed from the last digit of k and the first digit of k' is equal to the difference k'-k. If there is more…

A subset of positive integers $F$ is a Schreier set if it is non-empty and $|F|\leqslant \min F$ (here $|F|$ is the cardinality of $F$). For each positive integer $k$, we define $k\mathcal{S}$ as the collection of all the unions of at most…

An inversion sequence of length $n$ is an integer sequence $e=e_{1}e_{2}\dots e_{n}$ such that $0\leq e_{i}<i$ for each $i$. Corteel--Martinez--Savage--Weselcouch and Mansour--Shattuck began the study of patterns in inversion sequences,…

It is shown here that the percolation cluster that emerges from the percolation process on infinite perfect binary trees, is genuinely an encoding scheme for an infinite set of symbols. The average codeword length and the entropy of such an…

For fixed positive reals $t$ and $\alpha$, consider the sequence $S_t(\alpha) = (s_1, s_2, \ldots, )$ with $s_n = \left \lfloor t\alpha^n \right \rfloor$. In 1964, Graham managed to characterize those pairs $(t, \alpha)$ with $0 < t < 1$…

In this article, we establish initially regular sequences on cycles of the form $C_{3n+2}$ for $n\ge 1$, in the sense of \cite{FHM-ini}. These sequences accurately compute the depth of these cycles, completing the case of finding effective…

We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…

We define the indefinite logarithm [log x] of a real number x>0 to be a mathematical object representing the abstract concept of the logarithm of x with an indeterminate base (i.e., not specifically e, 10, 2, or any fixed number). The…

For $c \in \mathbb{Q}$, consider the quadratic polynomial map $\varphi_c(x)=x^2-c$. Flynn, Poonen and Schaefer conjectured in 1997 that no rational cycle of $\varphi_c$ under iteration has length more than $3$. Here we discuss this…

A sequence of nonzero integers $f = (f_1, f_2, \dots)$ is ``binomid'' if every $f$-binomid coefficient $\left[\! \begin{array}{c} n \\ k \end{array}\! \right]_f$ is an integer. Those terms are the generalized binomial coefficients: \[…

Let $X$ be a compact tree, $f$ be a continuous map from $X$ to itself, $End(X)$ be the number of endpoints and $Edg(X)$ be the number of edges of $X$. We show that if $n>1$ has no prime divisors less than $End(X)+1$ and $f$ has a cycle of…

A set is said to be \emph{3-free} if no three elements form an arithmetic progression. Given a 3-free set $A$ of integers $0=a_0<a_1<\cdots<a_t$, the \emph{Stanley sequence} $S(A)=\{a_n\}$ is defined using the greedy algorithm: For each…

Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_1g)\cdot...\cdot(n_kg)$ where $g\in G$ and $n_1,\cdots,n_k\in[1,{\hbox{\rm ord}}(g)]$, and the index $\ind S$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum…

A sequence $s(n)$ of integers is MC-finite if for every $m \in \mathbb{N}^+$ the sequence $s^m(n) = s(n) \bmod{m}$ is ultimately periodic. We discuss various ways of proving and disproving MC-finiteness. Our examples are mostly taken from…

A look-and-say sequence is obtained iteratively by reading off the digits of the current value, grouping identical digits together: starting with 1, the sequence reads: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, etc. (OEIS A005150). Starting with any…
