In the paper, I consider appearance of unit's digits in minor totals of a few integer sequences. The sequences include the sequence of even integers, sequence of odd integers and Faulhaber polynomial at $p = 2$. Application of difference…
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…
Given a subset of size $k$ of a very large universe a randomized way to find this subset could consist of deleting half of the universe and then searching the remaining part. With a probability of $2^{-k}$ one will succeed. By probability…
A known Kronecker construction of completely regular codes has been investigated taking different alphabets in the component codes. This approach is also connected with lifting constructions of completely regular codes. We obtain several…
For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…
We study generalized sums of linear orders. These are binary operations that, given linear orders $A$ and $B$, return an order $A \oplus B$ that can be decomposed as an isomorphic copy of $A$ interleaved with a copy of $B$. We show that…
In this article, we will use elementary number theory techniques to investigate a sequence of integers defined by a sifting process called the lucky numbers. Ulam introduced lucky numbers as a sieve-based analogue of prime numbers. We…
Universal compression of patterns of sequences generated by independently identically distributed (i.i.d.) sources with unknown, possibly large, alphabets is investigated. A pattern is a sequence of indices that contains all consecutive…
Each natural number can be associated with some tree graph. Namely, a natural number $n$ can be factorized as $$ n = p_1^{\alpha_1}\ldots p_k^{\alpha_k},$$ where $p_i$ are distinct prime numbers. Since $\alpha_i$ are naturals, they can be…
In 1909 Borel defined normality as a notion of randomness of the digits of the representation of a real number over certain base (fractional expansion). If we think the representation of a number over a base as an infinite sequence of…
We give the first construction of explicit constant-degree lossless vertex expanders. Specifically, for any $\varepsilon > 0$ and sufficiently large $d$, we give an explicit construction of an infinite family of $d$-regular graphs where…
Given any oracle, A, we construct a basic sequence Q, computable in the jump of A, such that no A-computable real is Q-distribution-normal. A corollary to this is that there is a Delta^0_{n+1} basic sequence with respect to which no…
A graph generative model defines a distribution over graphs. One type of generative model is constructed by autoregressive neural networks, which sequentially add nodes and edges to generate a graph. However, the likelihood of a graph under…
Copeland and Erd\H{o}s showed that the concatenation of primes when written in base $10$ yields a real number that is normal to base $10$. We generalize this result to Pisot number bases in which all integers have finite expansion.
In this paper, we give an axiomatization of the ordinal number system, in the style of Dedekind's axiomatization of the natural number system. The latter is based on a structure $(N,0,s)$ consisting of a set $N$, a distinguished element…
We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…
A set A is a Sidon set in an additive group G if every element of G can be written at most one way as sum of two elements of A. A particular case of two-dimensional Sidon sets are the sonar sequences, which are two-dimensional…
Repdigits are natural numbers formed by the repetition of a single digit. In this paper, we explore the presence of repdigits in the product of consecutive balancing or Lucas-balancing numbers.
The standard method for the propagation of errors, based on a Taylor series expansion, is approximate and frequently inadequate for realistic problems. A simple and generic technique is described in which the likelihood is constructed…
Let $\widetilde{\alpha}$ be a length-$L$ cyclic sequence of characters from a size-$K$ alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ such that the number of occurrences of any length-$m$ string on $\mathcal{A}$ as a substring of $\widetilde{\alpha}$ is $\lfloor L…
