We give an automata-theoretic description of the algebraic closure of the rational function field F_q(t) over a finite field, generalizing a result of Christol. The description takes place within the Hahn-Mal'cev-Neumann field of…
Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…
This paper studies multiplayer turn-based games on graphs in which player preferences are modeled as $\omega$-automatic relations given by deterministic parity automata. This contrasts with most existing work, which focuses on specific…
Despite the tremendous empirical success of neural models in natural language processing, many of them lack the strong intuitions that accompany classical machine learning approaches. Recently, connections have been shown between…
In this article we shall survey some recent progress on the study of Ap\'ery-like sums which are multiple variable generalizations of the two sums Ap\'ery used in his famous proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$. We only…
Conjecturing formulas and other symbolic relations occurs frequently in number theory and combinatorics. If we could automate conjecturing, we could benefit not only from speeding up, but also from finding conjectures previously out of our…
The \v{C}ern\'y's conjecture states that for every synchronizing automaton with n states there exists a reset word of length not exceeding (n-11)^2. We prove this conjecture for a class of automata preserving certain properties of intervals…
We introduce a class of convolutions on arithmetical functions that are regular in the sense of of Narkiewicz, homogeneous in the sense of Burnett et al, and bounded, in the sense that there exists a common finite bound for the rank of…
In a recent beautiful but technical article, William Y.C. Chen, Qing-Hu Hou, and Doron Zeilberger developed an algorithm for finding and proving congruence identities (modulo primes) of indefinite sums of many combinatorial sequences,…
We define a new subclass of nondeterministic finite automata for prefix-closed languages called Flanked Finite Automata (FFA). We show that this class enjoys good complexity properties while preserving the succinctness of nondeterministic…
We propose an approach that connects recurrent networks with different orders of hidden interaction with regular grammars of different levels of complexity. We argue that the correspondence between recurrent networks and formal…
We propose a novel automata model over the alphabet of rational numbers, which we call register automata over the rationals (RA-Q). It reads a sequence of rational numbers and outputs another rational number. RA-Q is an extension of the…
The focus of this paper is the analysis of real-time systems with recursion, through the development of good theoretical techniques which are implementable. Time is modeled using clock variables, and recursion using stacks. Our technique…
By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a finite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on…
I introduce an approach for automated reasoning in first order set theories that are not finitely axiomatizable, such as $ZFC$, and describe its implementation alongside the automated theorem proving software E. I then compare the results…
With a quite different way to determine the working rows, we propose a novel greedy Kaczmarz method for solving consistent linear systems. Convergence analysis of the new method is provided. Numerical experiments show that, for the same…
We introduce a new family of meta-Fibonacci sequences $(f(n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, governed by the recurrence relation $$f(n)=af(n-u_{n}-1)+bf(n-u_{n}-2),$$ where $\mathbf{u}=(u_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence with values $0,1$. Our…
Structured data in the form of tabular datasets contain features that are distinct and discrete, with varying individual and relative importances to the target. Combinations of one or more features may be more predictive and meaningful than…
Engelfriet and Vereijken have shown that linear graph grammars based on hyperedge replacement generate graph languages that can be considered as interpretations of regular string languages over typed symbols. In this paper we show that…
Reversible weighted automata are introduced and considered in a specific setting where the weights are taken from a nontrivial locally finite commutative ring such as a finite field. It is shown that the supports of series realised by such…
