We prove some asymptotic results on the distribution of h-tuples of consecutive Farey fractions of order Q with odd denominators as $Q\to \infty$.
The Euclidean division of two formal series in one variable produces a sequence of series that we obtain explicitly, remarking that the case where one of the two initial series is 1 is sufficiently generic. As an application, we define a…
This is part one of a two-part work that relates two different approaches to two-dimensional open-closed rational conformal field theory. In part one we review the definition of a Cardy algebra, which captures the necessary consistency…
Given a stochastic process $\{A_n, n \geq 1\}$ taking values in natural numbers, the random continued fractions is defined as $[A_1, A_2, \cdots, A_n, \cdots]$ analogue to the continued fraction expansion of real numbers. Assume that…
A dual approach to defining the triangle sequence (a type of multidimensional continued fraction algorithm, initially developed in NT/9906016) for a pair of real numbers is presented, providing a new, clean geometric interpretation of the…
The Stern sequence (s(n)) is defined by s(0) = 0, s(1) = 1, s(2n) = s(n), s(2n+1) = s(n) + s(n+1). Stern showed in 1858 that gcd(s(n),s(n+1)) = 1, and that for every pair of relatively prime positive integers (a,b), there exists a unique n…
We establish monotone bijections between the Farey sequences of order m and the halfsequences of Farey subsequences associated with the rank m elements of the Boolean lattice of subsets of a 2m-set. We also present a few related…
The problem of how to estimate diffusion on a graph effectively is of importance both theoretically and practically. In this paper, we make use of two widely studied indices, geodesic distance and mean first-passage time ($MFPT$) for random…
We present a nice result on the probability of a cycle occurring in a randomly generated graph. We then provide some extensions and applications, including the proof of the famous Cayley formula, which states that the number of labeled…
The order of the set of equivalent resistances, A(n) of n equal resistors combined in series and in parallel has been traditionally addressed computationally, for n up to 22. For larger n there have been constraints of computer memory.…
We define a function by refining Stern's diatomic sequence. We name it the {\it assembly function}. It is strictly increasing continuous. The first and the second main theorems are on an action to the function. The third theorem is on…
The change-making problem consists of representing a certain amount of money with the least possible number of coins, from a given, pre-established set of denominations. The greedy algorithm works by choosing the coins of largest possible…
Divide-and-conquer functions satisfy equations in F(z),F(z^2),F(z^4)... Their generated sequences are mainly used in computer science, and they were analyzed pragmatically, that is, now and then a sequence was picked out for scrutiny. By…
We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to an ordered-tree problem and their generating functions also…
The Fermat numbers have many notable properties, including order universality, coprimality, and definition by a recurrence relation. We use arbitrary elliptic curves and rational points of infinite order to generate sequences that are…
We construct a new scheme of approximation of any multivalued algebraic function $f(z)$ by a sequence $\{r_{n}(z)\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of rational functions. The latter sequence is generated by a recurrence relation which is completely…
Fast exact algorithms are known for Hamiltonian paths in undirected and directed bipartite graphs through elegant though involved algorithms that are quite different from each other. We devise algorithms that are simple and similar to each…
In some applications, one is interested in reconstructing a function $f$ from its Fourier series coefficients. The problem is that the Fourier series is slowly convergent if the function is non-periodic, or is non-smooth. In this paper, we…
In this paper Euler shows how, if we have recursive functions f,g,h and an infinite sequence A,B,C,... which satisfies fA=gB+hC, f'B=g'C+h'D, f''C=g''D+h''E, f'''D=g'''E+h'''F, etc., where the primes denote an index not a derivative, then…
In this study, several interesting iterative sequences were investigated. First, we define the iterative sequences. We fix function f(n). An iterative sequence starts with a natural number n, and calculates the sequence f(n),f(f(n)),…
