In this paper we introduce several extremal sequences of points on locally compact metric spaces and study their asymptotic properties. These sequences are defined through a greedy algorithm by minimizing a certain energy functional whose…
Nonlinear complexity, as an important measure for assessing the randomness of sequences, is defined as the length of the shortest feedback shift registers that can generate a given sequence. In this paper, the structure of n-periodic binary…
A rectifier network is a directed acyclic graph with distinguished sources and sinks; it is said to compute a Boolean matrix $M$ that has a $1$ in the entry $(i,j)$ iff there is a path from the $j$th source to the $i$th sink. The smallest…
This paper presents a twist to the generation of binary random sequences by starting with decimal sequences. Rather than representing the prime reciprocal sequence directly in base 2, we first right the prime reciprocal in base 10 and then…
We investigate compositional iteration of fractional order for transseries. For any large positive transseries $T$ of exponentiality 0, there is a family $T^{[s]}$ indexed by real numbers $s$ corresponding to teration of order $s$. It is…
In this paper we study a new class of bases, weaker than quasi-greedy bases, which retain their unconditionality properties and can provide the same optimality for the thresholding greedy algorithm. We measure how far these bases are from…
Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…
This work is a contribution to the study of set of the representations of integers in a rational base number system. This prefix-closed subset of the free monoid is naturally represented as a highly non regular tree whose nodes are the…
In the present paper we explore a way to represent numbers with respect to the base $-\frac32$ using the set of digits $\{0,1,2\}$. Although this number system shares several properties with the classical decimal system, it shows remarkable…
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
We show the existence of a series of transforms that capture several structures that underlie higher-dimensional partitions. These transforms lead to a sequence of triangles whose entries are given combinatorial interpretations as the…
Given a positive rational number $n/d$ with $d$ odd, its odd greedy expansion starts with the largest odd denominator unit fraction at most $n/d$, adds the largest odd denominator unit fraction so the sum is at most $n/d$, and continues as…
In the several contexts such as combinatorial number theory, families of sets of positive integers closed under taking subsets have been investigated. Then it is sometimes useful to give bijections between the set of the one-sided infinite…
We investigate properties of attainable partitions of integers, where a partition $(n_1,n_2, \dots, n_r)$ of $n$ is attainable if $\sum (3-2i)n_i\geq 0$. Conjecturally, under an extension of the Cohen and Lenstra heuristics by Holmin et.…
We study bases of the lattice generated by the cycles of an undirected graph, defined as the integer linear combinations of the 0/1-incidence vectors of cycles. We prove structural results for this lattice, including explicit formulas for…
Partitions of [n]={1,2,...,n} into sets of lists are counted by sequence number A000262 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. They are somewhat less numerous than partitions of [n] into lists of sets, A000670. Here we observe…
A sequence is a fractal sequence if it contains itself as a proper subsequence. (The self-containment property resembles that of visual fractals) A doubly fractal sequence of integers is defined by operations called upper trimming and lower…
In this paper, we consider the construction of linear lexicodes over finite chain rings by using a $B$-ordering over these rings and a selection criterion. % and a greedy Algorithm. As examples we give lexicodes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ and…
Nontransitive dice are dice beating one another in a cyclic way: die A wins die B, B wins C, and C wins A (like in a rock-paper-scissors game). In this article, it has been shown that a structure of mutual wins of 3 nontransitive dice (with…
This paper focuses on greedy expansions, one possible representation of numbers, and on arithmetical operations with them. Performing addition or multiplication some additional digits can appear. We study bounds on the number of such digits…
