This paper studies tilings related to the beta-transformation when beta is a Pisot number (that is not supposed to be a unit). Then it applies the obtained results to study the set of rational numbers having a purely periodic…
As a first step towards a theory of differential equations involving para-Grassmann variables the linear equations with constant coefficients are discussed and solutions for equations of low order are given explicitly. A connection to…
The stationary state of a stochastic process on a ring can be expressed using traces of monomials of an associative algebra defined by quadratic relations. If one considers only exclusion processes one can restrict the type of algebras and…
We pursue the view that quantum theory may be an emergent structure related to large space-time scales. In particular, we consider classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a…
The satisfactory development of Quaternionic Analysis has indicated new solutions for physical and mathematical problems. It is worth mentioning the fact that quaternions possess four dimensions, and in this way they may be considered as…
In the last two decades recurrence plots (RPs) were introduced in many different scientific disciplines. It turned out how powerful this method is. After introducing approaches of quantification of RPs and by the study of relationships…
Poincare's classification of the dynamics of homeomorphisms of the circle is one of the earliest, but still one of the most elegant, classification results in dynamical systems. Here we generalize this to quasiperiodically forced circle…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with a collection of ideals $\{ N_1, N_2, \dots, N_{k-1}\}$ satisfying certain conditions, properties of the set of invertible quadratic residues of the ring $R$ are described in terms of properties of the set…
This note considers linear recurrences (also called linear difference equations) in unknowns indexed by the integers. We characterize a unique \emph{reduced} linear recurrence with the same solutions as a given linear recurrence, and…
We identify the Atkin polynomials in terms of associated Jacobi polynomials. Our identificationthen takes advantage of the theory of orthogonal polynomials and their asymptotics to establish many new properties of the Atkin polynomials.…
An oscillator is called isochronous if all motions have a common period. When the system is forced by a time-dependent perturbation with the same period the dynamics may change and the phenomenon of resonance can appear. In this context,…
We study the set of algebraic objects known as vanishing polynomials (the set of polynomials that annihilate all elements of a ring) over general commutative rings with identity. These objects are of special interest due to their close…
The classical work of Feferman Vaught gives a powerful, constructive analysis of definability in (generalized) product structures, and certain associated enriched Boolean structures. %structures in terms of definability in the component…
A commutative ring is reduced when it can be embedded into a direct product of fields. While the category of reduced commutative rings plays a fundamental role in affine geometry, it exhibits several structural deficiencies: it admits…
The paper studies the question of existence of polynomials with given roots over associative non-commutative rings with identity. It is shown that in the case of an associative division ring for arbitrary n elements of this ring there…
Constant-recursive sequences are those which satisfy a linear recurrence, so that later terms can be obtained as a linear combination of the previous ones. The rank of a constant-recursive sequence is the minimal number of previous terms…
Tilings and tiling systems are an abstract concept that arise both as a computational model and as a dynamical system. In this paper, we characterize the sets of periods that a tiling system can produce. We prove that up to a slight…
We investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of a class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. In addition to divisibility and irreducibility results we also consider…
A recurrence equation is a discrete integrable equation whose solutions are all periodic and the period is fixed. We show that infinitely many recurrence equations can be derived from the information about invariant varieties of periodic…
We primarily investigate the properties of characteristic polynomials of semimatroids. In particular, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of their coefficients, generalizing the Whitney's Broken Circuit Theorem. We also prove that the…
