We estimate the number $|\mathcal{A}_{\boldsymbol\lambda}|$ of elements on a nonlinear family $\mathcal{A}$ of monic polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of degree $r$ having factorization pattern…

Let $D^+$ be the first octant of the Euclidean space and consider the integral cube grid $G$ in $D^+$. The intersections of each line with $G$ form an infinite sequence of three letters which can be considered as an extension of well-known…

In this paper, we prove a criterion for complexity in $g$-ary expansions of a rational fraction $a/b<1$ with gcd$(a,b)=1$. We prove that for any purely periodic proper fraction $a/b$ and all $j\geq 1$, each sequence of $j$ digits occurs in…

In this paper, we give the following result: If $D$ is a digraph of order $n$, and if $d_{D}^{+}(u) + d_{D}^{-}(v) \ge n$ for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ with $(u, v) \notin A(D)$, then $D$ has a directed $2$-factor with exactly…

We study the asymptotics and fine-scale behavior of quantitative combinatorial measures of infinite words and related dynamical and algebraic structures. We construct infinite recurrent words $w$ whose complexity functions $p_w(n)$ are…

The problem is considered of arranging symbols around a cycle, in such a way that distances between different instances of a same symbol be as uniformly distributed as possible. A sequence of moments is defined for cycles, similarly to the…

Approximating distributions from their samples is a canonical statistical-learning problem. One of its most powerful and successful modalities approximates every distribution to an $\ell_1$ distance essentially at most a constant times…

This paper studies balancedness for infinite words and subshifts, both for letters and factors. Balancedness is a measure of disorder that amounts to strong convergence properties for frequencies. It measures the difference between the…

We show that if a non-amenable, quasi-transitive, unimodular graph $G$ has all degrees even then it has a factor-of-iid balanced orientation, meaning each vertex has equal in- and outdegree. This result involves extending earlier…

Similarly to the Chomsky hierarchy, we offer a classification of communication complexity measures such that these measures are organized into equivalence classes. Different from previous attempts of this endeavor, we consider two…

We use the cluster method to enumerate permutations avoiding consecutive patterns. We reprove and generalize in a unified way several known results and obtain new ones, including some patterns of length 4 and 5, as well as some infinite…

Let A, B, C, D be given finite sets of pairs of n-by-n complex matrices. We describe an algorithm to determine, with finitely many computations, whether there is a single unitary matrix U such that each pair of matrices in A is unitarily…

Euclidean distance matrices corresponding to an arithmetic progression have rich spectral and structural properties. We exploit those properties to develop completely positive factorizations of translations of those matrices. We show that…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a probability space equipped with an invertible, measure-preserving transformation $T\colon X \to X$. We exhibit a wide class of weights $w$ so that whenever $f,g \in L^{\infty}(X)$, the bilinear ergodic averages \[…

We consider uniformly (DC) or periodically (AC) driven generalized infinite elastic chains (a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model) with gradient dynamics. We first show that the union of supports of all the invariant measures, denoted by A,…

Conjunctive normal forms where every clause has length at most two are called 2-CNFs. We study minimally unsatisfiable 2-CNFs (2-MUs), that is, unsatisfiable 2-CNFs where removing any clause destroys unsatisfiability, and obtain their full…

We show that, for every $k\geq 2$, $C_{2k}$-freeness can be decided in $O(n^{1-1/k})$ rounds in the Broadcast CONGEST model, by a deterministic algorithm. This (deterministic) round-complexity is optimal for $k=2$ up to logarithmic factors…

The identification of binary sequences with large merit factor (small mean-squared aperiodic autocorrelation) is an old problem of complex analysis and combinatorial optimization, with practical importance in digital communications…

We prove a deterministic analogue of Rudelson's sampling theorem for sums of positive semidefinite matrices. Let $A_1,\dots,A_m$ be positive semidefinite \(d\times d\) matrices, and let $\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m \ge 0$ satisfy \[…

We show that if $\mathcal{X}$ is a complete separable metric space and $\mathcal{C}$ is a countable family of Borel subsets of $\mathcal{X}$ with finite VC dimension, then, for every stationary ergodic process with values in $\mathcal{X}$,…
