We present the first example of a phase transition in a nonequilibrium steady-state that can be argued analytically to be first order. The system of interest is a two-species reaction-diffusion problem whose control parameter is the total…

This paper studies nested sequents for quantified modal logics. In particular, it considers extensions of the propositional modal logics definable by the axioms D, T, B, 4, and 5 with varying, increasing, decreasing, and constant domains.…

An inversion sequence of length $n$ is an integer sequence $e=e_{1}e_{2}\dots e_{n}$ such that $0\leq e_{i}<i$ for each $i$. Corteel--Martinez--Savage--Weselcouch and Mansour--Shattuck began the study of patterns in inversion sequences,…

Let $r(n,k)$ (resp. $s(n,k)$) be the number of Schr\"oder paths (resp. little Schr\"oder paths) of length $2n$ with $k$ hills, and set $r(0,0)=s(0,0)=1$. We bijectively establish the following recurrence relations: \begin{align*}…

We study the generalized Hankel transform of the family of sequences satisfying the recurrence relation $a_{n+1} = \bigl(\alpha + \frac{\beta}{n+\gamma}\bigr) a_n$. We apply the obtained formula to several particular important sequences.…

The weighted Delannoy numbers are defined by the recurrence relation $f_{m,n}=\alpha f_{m-1,n}+ \beta f_{m,n-1}+ \gamma f_{m-1,n-1}$ if $m n>0 $, with $f_{m,n}=\alpha^m \beta^n$ if $n m=0$. In this work, we study a generalization of these…

An integer sequence that is defined by initial values and a linear recurrence with constant integer coefficients, can be represented by the difference of two arithmetic terms containing exponentiation. All constants occuring in the term are…

Let $\Lambda$ be a countable index set and $S=\{\phi_i: i\in \Lambda\}$ be a conformal iterated function system on $[0,1]^d$ satisfying the open set condition. Denote by $J$ the attractor of $S$. With each sequence $(w_1,w_2,...)\in…

A sequence $\mathbf{A}$ is said to be realizable if satisfies so called sign and Dold conditions. We will say that a sequence almost satisfies the Dold condition if there exists a constant $c\in\mathbb{N}_+$ such that…

A sequence in the additive group ${\mathbb Z}_n$ of integers modulo $n$ is called $n$-zero-free if it does not contain subsequences with length $n$ and sum zero. The article characterizes the $n$-zero-free sequences in ${\mathbb Z}_n$ of…

It is well known that Sturmian sequences are the aperiodic sequences that are balanced over a 2-letter alphabet. They are also characterized by their complexity: they have exactly $(n+1)$ factors of length $n$. One possible generalization…

Inversion sequences are integer sequences $e=e_{1}e_{2}\dots e_{n}$ such that $0\leq e_{i}<i$ for each $i$. The study of patterns in inversion sequences was initiated by Corteel--Martinez--Savage--Weselcouch and Mansour--Shattuck in the…

We obtain solutions to the recursive sequences of the form $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{x_{n - 3}x_{n }}{x_{n - 2}(a_n + b_nx_{n -3}x_{n})}$$ where $a_n$ and $b_n$ are arbitrary sequences of real numbers, and the initial values are gives as;…

A positive linear recurrence sequence (PLRS) is a sequence defined by a homogeneous linear recurrence relation with positive coefficients and a particular set of initial conditions. A sequence of positive integers is \emph{complete} if…

Let $M$ be a fixed positive integer. Let $(R_{j}(n))_{n\ge 1}$ be a linear recurrence sequence for every $j=0,1,\ldots, M$, and we set $f(n)=(R_0\circ \cdots \circ R_M)(n)$, where $(S\circ T)(n)= S(T(n))$. In this paper, we obtain…

We consider log-convex sequences that satisfy an additional constraint imposed on their rate of growth. We call such sequences log-balanced. It is shown that all such sequences satisfy a pair of double inequalities. Sufficient conditions…

We investigate the order $\rho$ of the four entire functions in the Nevanlinna matrix of an indeterminate Hamburger moment sequence. We give an upper estimate for $\rho$ which is explicit in terms of the parameters of the canonical system…

Given a consequence relation in many-valued logic, what connectives can be defined? For instance, does there always exist a conditional operator internalizing the consequence relation, and which form should it take? In this paper, we pose…
