We investigate B\"uchi Arithmetic $\mathsf{BA}_k$ -- the elementary theory of the natural numbers equipped with addition and the function mapping a number $x$ to the greatest power of $k$ dividing $x$. $\mathsf{BA}_k$ is known to be…
B\"uchi's theorem states that $\omega$-regular languages are characterized as languages of the form $\bigcup_i U_i V_i^\omega$, where $U_i$ and $V_i$ are regular languages. Parikh automata are automata on finite words whose transitions are…
B\"uchi arithmetics $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_n$, $n\ge 2$, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol $V_n(x)$ denoting the largest power of $n$ that divides $x$. A rank of a linear order is the minimal…
We introduce an axiomatization for the notion of computation. Based on the idea of Brouwer choice sequences, we construct a model, denoted by $E$, which satisfies our axioms and $E \models \mathrm{ P \neq NP}$. In other words, regarding…
We prove some new theorems in additive number theory, using novel techniques from automata theory and formal languages. As an example of our method, we prove that every natural number > 25 is the sum of at most three natural numbers whose…
B\"uchi arithmetics $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_n$, $n\ge 2$, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol $V_n(x)$ denoting the largest power of $n$ that divides $x$. We explore the structure of non-standard…
B\"uchi arithmetics BA_n, n >= 2, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol V_n(x) denoting the largest power of n that divides x. Definability of a set in BA_n is equivalent to its recognizability by a finite…
We provide a "shared axiomatization" of natural numbers and hereditarily finite sets built around a polymorphic abstraction of bijective base-2 arithmetics. The "axiomatization" is described as a progressive refinement of Haskell type…
Axiomatizing mathematical structures is a goal of Mathematical Logic. Axiomatizability of the theories of some structures have turned out to be quite difficult and challenging, and some remain open. However axiomatization of some…
Let p/q be a rational number. Numeration in base p/q is defined by a function that evaluates each finite word over A_p={0,1,...,p-1} to some rational number. We let N_p/q denote the image of this evaluation function. In particular, N_p/q…
In this paper we give a preliminary formalization of the p-adic numbers, in the context of the second author's univalent foundations program. We also provide the corresponding code verifying the construction in the proof assistant Coq.…
The multiplicative theory of a set of numbers (which could be natural, integer, rational, real or complex numbers) is the first-order theory of the structure of that set with (solely) the multiplication operation (that set is taken to be…
For a set $A$ of non-negative integers, let $R_A(n)$ denote the number of solutions to the equation $n=a+a'$ with $a$, $a'\in A$. Denote by $\chi_A(n)$ the characteristic function of $A$. Let $b_n>0$ be a sequence satisfying $\limsup_{n\to…
A complete p-adic Khintchine type theorem for approximation by p-adic algebraic numbers is established.
We introduce poly-Cauchy permutations that are enumerated by the poly-Cauchy numbers. We provide combinatorial proofs for several identities involving poly-Cauchy numbers and some of their generalizations. The aim of this work is to…
In this short note we prove a result that is an extension of an old Olympiad problem and is a very simple variant of the question of finding an approximation for $k$, where it is a nonzero constant and it satisfies the equation $a^k+b^k=c$,…
Probabilistic B\"uchi automata are a natural generalization of PFA to infinite words, but have been studied in-depth only rather recently and many interesting questions are still open. PBA are known to accept, in general, a class of…
In this short survey we look at a few basic features of p-adic numbers, somewhat with the point of view of a classical analyst. In particular, with p-adic numbers one has arithmetic operations and a norm, just as for real or complex…
We enrich pregroups with a mapping which allows us to locally apply precyclic permutations to designated substrings. We prove a normalisation theorem for such algebraic structures and briefly formalise some known applications of pregroups…
We use model theoretic techniques to construct explicit first-order axiomatizations for the classes of posets that can be represented as systems of sets, where the order relation is given by inclusion, and existing meets and joins of…
