We prove that a sequence satisfying a certain symmetry property is $2$-regular in the sense of Allouche and Shallit, i.e., the $\mathbb{Z}$-module generated by its $2$-kernel is finitely generated. We apply this theorem to develop a general…

The research on indexing repetitive string collections has focused on the same search problems used for regular string collections, though they can make little sense in this scenario. For example, the basic pattern matching query "list all…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a finite nonempty set of $3$-element subsets of a totally ordered set $V$. We view $\mathcal{T}$ as the set of triangles in the support graph. Let $\delta_{1,\mathcal{T}}$ be the signed edge-triangle incidence matrix,…

A $k$-wise $\ell$-divisible set family is a collection $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of ${ \{1,\ldots,n \} }$ such that any intersection of $k$ sets in $\mathcal{F}$ has cardinality divisible by $\ell$. If $k=\ell=2$, it is well-known that…

We prove upper bounds for the average size of the $\ell$-torsion $\text{Cl}_K[\ell]$ of the class group of $K$, as $K$ runs through certain natural families of number fields and $\ell$ is a positive integer. We refine a key argument, used…

A tree $T$ on $2^n$ vertices is called set-sequential if the elements in $V(T)\cup E(T)$ can be labeled with distinct nonzero $(n+1)$-dimensional $01$-vectors such that the vector labeling each edge is the component-wise sum modulo $2$ of…

Let $(U_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be a fixed linear recurrence sequence of integers with order at least two, and for any positive integer $\ell$, let $\ell \cdot 2^{\ell} + 1$ be a Cullen number. Recently in \cite{bmt}, generalized Cullen numbers in…

An extension to a recently introduced architecture of clique-based neural networks is presented. This extension makes it possible to store sequences with high efficiency. To obtain this property, network connections are provided with…

Experimental results show that, when the order $n$ is odd, there are de Bruijn sequences such that the corresponding complement sequence and the reverse sequence are the same. In this paper, we propose one efficient method to generate such…

Let $X_r$ be a finite type Dynkin diagram, and $\ell$ be a positive integer greater than or equal to two. The $Y$-system of type $X_r$ with level $\ell$ is a system of algebraic relations, whose solutions have been proved to have…

A T-net of order $m$ is a graph with $m$ nodes and $2m$ directed edges, where every node has indegree and outdegree equal to $2$. (A well known example of T-nets are de Bruijn graphs.) Given a T-net $N$ of order $m$, there is the so called…

We study the binary Ehrenfeucht Mycielski sequence seeking a balance between the number of occurrences of different binary strings. There have been numerous attempts to prove the balance conjecture of the sequence, which roughly states that…

A new family of sequences is proposed. An example of sequence of this family is more accurately studied. This sequence is composed by the integers $n$ for which the sum of binary digits is equal to the sum of binary digits of $n^2$. Some…

The concept of symbolic sequences play important role in study of complex systems. In the work we are interested in ultrametric structure of the set of cyclic sequences naturally arising in theory of dynamical systems. Aimed at construction…

Herein, we focus on explicit constructions of $\ell\times\ell$ binary kernels with small scaling exponent for $\ell \le 64$. In particular, we exhibit a sequence of binary linear codes that approaches capacity on the BEC with quasi-linear…

A pattern of a sequence is a sequence of integer indices with each index describing the order of first occurrence of the respective symbol in the original sequence. In a recent paper, tight general bounds on the block entropy of patterns of…

Let us call a sequence of numbers heapable if they can be sequentially inserted to form a binary tree with the heap property, where each insertion subsequent to the first occurs at a leaf of the tree, i.e. below a previously placed number.…

A partial $(n,k,t)_\lambda$-system is a pair $(X,\mathcal{B})$ where $X$ is an $n$-set of vertices and $\mathcal{B}$ is a collection of $k$-subsets of $X$ called blocks such that each $t$-set of vertices is a subset of at most $\lambda$…

This paper introduces a new family of reconstruction codes which is motivated by applications in DNA data storage and sequencing. In such applications, DNA strands are sequenced by reading some subset of their substrings. While previous…

We introduce the sum channel, a new channel model motivated by applications in distributed storage and DNA data storage. In the error-free case, it takes as input an $\ell$-row binary matrix and outputs an $(\ell+1)$-row matrix whose first…
