Borwein and Mossinghoff investigated the Rudin-Shapiro-like sequences, which are infinite families of binary sequences, usually represented as polynomials. Each family of Rudin-Shapiro-like sequences is obtained from a starting sequence…
We study the autocorrelation coefficients of the Rudin-Shapiro polynomials, proving in particular that their maximum on the interval $[1, 2^n)$ is bounded from below by $C_1 2^{\alpha n}$ and is bounded from above by $C_2 2^{\alpha' n}$…
Sequences with low aperiodic autocorrelation and crosscorrelation are used in communications and remote sensing. Golay and Shapiro independently devised a recursive construction that produces families of complementary pairs of binary…
Motivated by the known autocorrelation properties of the Rudin-Shapiro sequence, we study the discrete correlation among infinite sequences over a finite alphabet, where we just take into account whether two symbols are identical. We show…
Binary $m$-sequences are ones with the largest period $n=2^m-1$ among the binary sequences produced by linear shift registers with length $m$. They have a wide range of applications in communication since they have several desirable…
An $m$-sequence is the one of the largest period among those produced by a linear feedback shift register. It possesses several desirable features of pseudorandomness such as balance, uniform pattern distribution and ideal autocorrelation…
We consider the class of Rudin-Shapiro-like polynomials, whose $L^4$ norms on the complex unit circle were studied by Borwein and Mossinghoff. The polynomial $f(z)=f_0+f_1 z + \cdots + f_d z^d$ is identified with the sequence…
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…
In this paper, we show that all odd-point correlation functions of the balanced Rudin--Shapiro sequence vanish and that all even-point correlation functions depend only on a single number, which holds for any weighted correlation function…
In signal processing the Rudin-Shapiro polynomials have good autocorrelation properties and their values on the unit circle are small. Binary sequences with low autocorrelation coefficients are of interest in radar, sonar, and communication…
In this paper, we study the abelian complexity of the Rudin-Shapiro sequence and a related sequence. We show that these two sequences share the same complexity function $\rho(n)$ which satisfies certain recurrence relations. As a…
We show that polynomials associated with automatic sequences satisfy a certain recurrence relation when evaluated at a root of unity, which generalizes a result of Brillhart, Lomont and Morton on the Rudin--Shapiro polynomials. We study the…
We introduce a construction for perfect periodic autocorrelation sequences over roots of unity. The sequences share similarities to the perfect periodic sequence constructions of Liu, Frank, and Milewski.
On an infinite, radial metric tree graph we consider the corresponding Laplacian equipped with self-adjoint vertex conditions from a large class including $\delta$- and weighted $\delta'$-couplings. Assuming the numbers of different edge…
This is a sequel to the paper \cite{MO-mw} which identified maximally writhed algebraic links in $\rp^3$ and classified them topologically. In this paper we prove that all maximally writhed links of the same topological type are rigidly…
Su et al. proposed several new classes of quaternary sequences of even length with optimal autocorrelation interleaved by twin-prime sequences pairs, GMW sequences pairs or binary cyclotomic sequences of order four in \cite{S1}. In this…
Let either $R_k(t) := |P_k(e^{it})|^2$ or $R_k(t) := |Q_k(e^{it})|^2$, where $P_k$ and $Q_k$ are the usual Rudin-Shapiro polynomials of degree $n-1$ with $n=2^k$. In a recent paper we combined close to sharp upper bounds for the modulus of…
For a graph $G$ of order $n$, let $$ \lambda_1(G)\ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n(G) $$ be the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We prove that every graph $G$ on $n\ge 3$ vertices satisfies $$ \lambda_3(G)\le \frac{n}{3}-1, $$ thereby solving a…
Sequences with good randomness properties are quite important for stream ciphers. In this paper, a new class of quaternary sequences is constructed by using generalized cyclotomic classes of $\mathbb{Z}_{2p^m}$ $(m\geq1)$. The exact values…
We introduce a family of block-additive automatic sequences, that are obtained by allocating a weight to each couple of digits, and defining the $n$th term of the sequence as being the total weight of the integer $n$ written in base $k$.…
