Correlation remains to be one of the most widely used statistical tools for assessing the strength of relationships between data series. This paper presents a novel compositional correlation method for detecting linear and nonlinear…
Path pairs are a modification of parallelogram polyominoes that provide yet another combinatorial interpretation of the Catalan numbers. More generally, the number of path pairs of length $n$ and distance $\delta$ corresponds to the…
A general technique of exact calculation of any correlation functions for the special class of one-dimensional spin models containing small clusters of quantum spins assembled to a chain by alternating with the single Ising spins is…
Generalizing results of J\'onsson and Tarski, Maddux introduced the notion of a pair-dense relation algebra and proved that every pair-dense relation algebra is representable. The notion of a pair below the identity element is readily…
Pseudorandom sequences are used extensively in communications and remote sensing. Correlation provides one measure of pseudorandomness, and low correlation is an important factor determining the performance of digital sequences in…
Stimulated by the growing interest in the applications of complex networks framework on time series analysis, we devise a network model in which each of $N$ nodes is associated with a random walk of length $L$. Connectivity between any two…
A simple model, in which nuclei are represented as homogeneous spheres of symmetric nuclear matter, is used to study the effects of a self-consistent pairing interaction on the nuclear response. Effects due to the finite size of nuclei are…
We study the distribution of normalized spacings between the fractional parts of an^2, n=1,2,.... We conjecture that if a is "badly approximable" by rationals, then the sequence of fractional parts has Poisson spacings, and give a number of…
The correlation measure of order $k$ is a measure of pseudorandomness that quantifies the similarity between a sequence and its shifts. It is known that the correlation of order 4 is large for the Rudin-Shapiro sequence despite having nice…
The Poisson process is the most elementary continuous-time stochastic process that models a stream of repeating events. It is uniquely characterised by a single parameter called the rate. Instead of a single value for this rate, we here…
In this paper, we study a more general pair correlation function, $F_h(x,T)$, of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. It provides information on the distribution of larger differences between the zeros.
We study three integrals related to the celebrated pair correlation conjecture of H. L. Montgomery. The first is the integral of Montgomery's function $F(\alpha, T)$ in bounded intervals, the second is an integral introduced by Selberg…
In this paper, we study a maximization problem on real sequences. More precisely, for a given sequence, we are interested in computing the supremum of the sequence and an index for which the associated term is maximal. We propose a general…
The goal of this expository article is a fairly self-contained account of some averaging processes of functions along sequences of the form $(\alpha^n x)^{}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed real number with $| \alpha | > 1$ and…
For all $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in(1,2)$ with $1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2>5/3$, we show that the number of pairs $(n_1,n_2)$ of positive integers with $N=\lfloor{n_1^{\alpha_1}}\rfloor+\lfloor{n_2^{\alpha_2}}\rfloor$ is equal to…
At a fundamental level every measurement process relies on an interaction where one entity influences another. The boundary of an interaction is given by a pair of events, which can be ordered by virtue of the interaction. This results in a…
Let $q$ be an odd prime, and let $T_{q}:\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ be the Shortened $qx+1$ map, defined by $T_{q}\left(n\right)=n/2$ if $n$ is even and $T_{q}\left(n\right)=\left(qn+1\right)/2$ if $n$ is odd. The study of the dynamics…
We study a stable partial matching $\tau$ of the (possibly randomized) $d$-dimensional lattice with a stationary determinantal point process $\Psi$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with intensity $\alpha>1$. For instance, $\Psi$ might be a Poisson…
We study the topological zeta function Z_{top,f}(s) associated to a polynomial f with complex coefficients. This is a rational function in one variable and we want to determine the numbers that can occur as a pole of some topological zeta…
We show that the sequence of integers which have nearly the typical number of distinct prime factors forms a Poisson process. More precisely, for $\de$ arbitrarily small and positive, the nearest neighbor spacings between integers $n$ with…
