In this paper we consider the sequence whose n^{th} term is the number of h-vectors of length n. We show that the n^{th} term of this sequence is bounded above by the n^{th} Fibonacci number and bounded below by the number if integer…

Let (F_n^{(k)})_{n\geq -(k-2)} be the k-generalized Fibonacci sequence, defined as the linear recurrence sequence whose first k terms are \(0, 0, \ldots, 0, 1\), and whose subsequent terms are determined by the sum of the preceding k terms.…

We derive the double recurrence $e_n = \frac{1}{2}(a_{n-1}+5b_{n-1}); f_{n} = \frac{1}{2}(a_{n-1}+b_{n-1})$ with $e_0=2;f_0=0$ for the Fibonacci numbers, leading to an extremely simple and fast implementation. Though the recurrence is…

The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers that has been studied for hundreds of years. In this paper, we introduce the new sequence S_{k,n} with initial conditions S_{k,0} = 2b and S_{k,1} = bk + a, which is generated by the…

First we generalize the Thue-Morse sequence (the generalized Thue-Morse sequences) by a cyclic permutations and p-adic system, and consider the necessary-sufficient condition that it is non-periodic. Moreover if the generalized Thue-Morse…

Dynamical sampling deals with frames of the form $\{T^n\varphi\}_{n=0}^\infty$, where $T \in B(\mathcal{H})$ belongs to certain classes of linear operators and $\varphi\in\mathcal{H}$. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new…

Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…

In this work we introduce a new notion called opacity complexity to measure the complexity of automatic sequences. We study basic properties of this notion, and exhibit an algorithm to compute it. As applications, we compute the opacity…

The famous Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem seeks collections of mutually disjoint sets of non-negative integers having equal sums of like powers. In this paper we present a new proof of the solution to this problem by deriving a generalization…

The Stern polynomials defined by $s(0;x)=0$, $s(1;x)=1$, and for $n\geq 1$ by $s(2n;x)=s(n;x^2)$ and $s(2n+1;x)=x\,s(n;x^2)+s(n+1;x^2)$ have only 0 and 1 as coefficients. We construct an infinite lower-triangular matrix related to the…

In this article, first we generalize the Thue-Morse sequence $(a(n))_{n=0}^\infty$ (the generalized Thue-Morse sequences) by a cyclic permutation and $k$ -adic expansion of natural numbers, and consider the necessary-sufficient condition…

The Fibonacci sequence has been generalized in many ways. One of them is defined by the relation $t_n=at_{n-1}+t_{n-2}$ if $n$ is even, $t_n=bt_{n-1}+t_{n-2}$ if $n$ is odd, with initial values $t_0=0$ and $t_1=1$, where $a$ and $b$ are…

For every $a\geq1$ we give a recursion algorithm of building of set of solutions of equations of the form $t(x+a)=t(x)$ and $t(x+a)=1-t(x),$ where $\{t(n)\}$ is Thue-Morse sequence. We pose an open problem and two conjectures.

In combinatorics on words, the well-studied factor complexity function $\rho_{\infw{x}}$ of a sequence $\infw{x}$ over a finite alphabet counts, for every nonnegative integer $n$, the number of distinct length-$n$ factors of $\infw{x}$. In…

We discuss an interesting sequence defined recursively; namely, sequence A105774 from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, and study some of its properties. Our main tools are Fibonacci representation, finite automata, and the…

If $p$ is a prime number, consider a $p$-automatic sequence $(u_n)_{n\ge 0}$, and let $U(X) = \sum_{n\ge 0} u_n X^n \in \mathbb{F}_p[[X]]$ be its generating function. Assume that there exists a formal power series $V(X) = \sum_{n\ge 0} v_n…

We prove that the Thue--Morse sequence $\mathbf t$ along subsequences indexed by $\lfloor n^c\rfloor$ is normal, where $1<c<3/2$. That is, for $c$ in this range and for each $\omega\in\{0,1\}^L$, where $L\geq 1$, the set of occurrences of…

For a fixed integer N, and fixed numbers b_1,...,b_N, we consider sequences, the nth term (a_n) of which is the sum of the squares of the terms in the expansion of (b_1 + ... + b_N)^n. In the case all b_i=1, we give a formula for a…

The sequence of derangements is given by the formula $D_0 = 1, D_n = nD_{n-1} + (-1)^n, n>0$. It is a classical object appearing in combinatorics and number theory. In this paper we consider two classes of sequences: first class is given by…
