The starting point of our paper is Kashihara's open problem number $30$, concerning the sequence $A001292$ of the OEIS, asking how many terms are powers of integers. We confirm his last conjecture up to the $100128$-th term and provide a…
For many algorithmic problems on graphs of treewidth $t$, a standard dynamic programming approach gives an algorithm with time and space complexity $2^{\mathcal{O}(t)}\cdot n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$. It turns out that when one considers the more…
Let $G$ be an abelian group, let $S$ be a sequence of terms $s_1,s_2,...,s_{n}\in G$ not all contained in a coset of a proper subgroup of $G$, and let $W$ be a sequence of $n$ consecutive integers. Let $$W\odot S=\{w_1s_1+...+w_ns_n:\;w_i…
We introduce a class of stochastic integer sequences. In these sequences, every element is a sum of two previous elements, at least one of which is chosen randomly. The interplay between randomness and memory underlying these sequences…
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…
The randomized extended Kaczmarz method, proposed by Zouzias and Freris (SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 34: 773-793, 2013), is appealing for solving least-squares problems. However, its randomly selecting rows and columns of A with probability…
One approach to study the pseudorandomness properties of walks on expander graphs is to label the vertices of an expander with elements from an alphabet $\Sigma$, and study the mean of functions over $\Sigma^n$. We say expander walks…
We give an improved algorithm for counting the number of $1324$-avoiding permutations, resulting in 5 further terms of the generating function. We analyse the known coefficients and find compelling evidence that unlike other classical…
We reconsider the problem of even-visiting random walks in one dimension. This problem is mapped onto a non-Hermitian Anderson model with binary disorder. We develop very efficient numerical tools to enumerate and characterize even-visiting…
A simultaneous arithmetic progression (s.a.p.) of length k consists of k points (x_i, y_\sigma(i)), where x_i and y_i are arithmetic progressions and \sigma is a permutation. Garcia-Selfa and Tornero asked whether there is a bound on the…
For the OEIS sequence A176677, defined by the quadratic convolution recurrence $a(0) = a(1) = 1$ and $a(n+1) = \sum_{p=0}^n a(p) a(n-p) - 1$ for $n \ge 1$, R.~J.~Mathar contributed in March 2016 the conjectured order-4 P-recursive…
Various lattice path models are reviewed. The enumeration is done using generating functions. A few bijective considerations are woven in as well. The kernel method is often used. Computer algebra was an essential tool. Some results are…
We prove a variant of the multidimensional polynomial Szemer\'edi theorem of Bergelson and Leibman where one replaces polynomial sequences with other sparse sequences defined by functions that belong to some Hardy field and satisfy certain…
We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of site animals (polyominoes) on the square lattice up to size 46. Analysis of the resulting series yields an improved estimate, $\tau = 4.062570(8)$, for the…
Most recent state of the art architectures rely on combinations and variations of three approaches: convolutional, recurrent and self-attentive methods. Our work attempts in laying the basis for a new research direction for sequence…
In the context of lattice walk enumeration in cones, we consider the number of walks in the quarter plane with fixed starting and ending points, prescribed step-set and given length. After renormalization, this number may be interpreted as…
We present four constructions of inversion sequences, and use them to compute the enumeration sequences of 24 classes of pattern-avoiding inversion sequences. This completes the enumeration of inversion sequences avoiding one or two…
We consider the enumeration of walks on the two dimensional non-negative integer lattice with short steps. Up to isomorphism there are 79 unique two dimensional models to consider, and previous work in this area has used the kernel method,…
Given a finitely generated group with generating set $S$, we study the cogrowth sequence, which is the number of words of length $n$ over the alphabet $S$ that are equal to one. This is related to the probability of return for walks the…
We provide a new strategy to compute the exponential growth constant of enumeration sequences counting walks in lattice path models restricted to the quarter plane. The bounds arise by comparison with half-planes models. In many cases the…
