Let $G$ be a finite additive abelian group with exponent $n$ and $S=g_{1}\cdots g_{t}$ be a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$ and $A\subseteq\{1,2,\ldots,n-1\}$, let $N_{A,g}(S)$ denote the number of subsequences…

Let $x$ be an $m$-sequence, a maximal length sequence produced by a linear feedback shift register. We show that $x$ has maximal subword complexity function in the sense of Allouche and Shallit. We show that this implies that the…

In this paper we develop a method to transfer density results for primitive automatic sequences to logarithmic-density results for general automatic sequences. As an application we show that the logarithmic densities of any automatic…

In this paper we study some sophisticated supercongruences involving dual sequences. For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ define $$d_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk2^k$$ and $$s_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk\binom{x+k}k=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom…

We consider the complexities of substitutive sequences over a binary alphabet. By studying various types of special words, we show that, knowing some initial values, its complexity can be completely formulated via a recurrence formula…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $n$ a positive integer and $g$ a primitive root of $p^n$. Suppose $D_i^{(p^n)}=\{g^{2s+i}|s=0,1,2,\cdots,\frac{(p-1)p^{n-1}}{2}\}$, $i=0,1$, is the generalized cyclotomic classes with $Z_{p^n}^{\ast}=D_0\cup D_1$.…

Given a computable sequence of natural numbers, it is a natural task to find a G\"odel number of a program that generates this sequence. It is easy to see that this problem is neither continuous nor computable. In algorithmic learning…

Traditional global stability measure for sequences is hard to determine because of large search space. We propose the $k$-error linear complexity with a zone restriction for measuring the local stability of sequences. Accordingly, we can…

We extend our investigation of $2$-determinants, which we defined in a previous paper. For a linear homogenous recurrence of the second order, we consider relations between different sequences satisfying the same linear homogeneous…

We derive a modular anomaly equation satisfied by the prepotential of the N=2* supersymmetric theories with non-simply laced gauge algebras, including the classical B and C infinite series and the exceptional F4 and G2 cases. This equation…

Let $G$ be an additive finite abelian group and let $k\in [\exp(G),\mathsf{D}(G)-1]$ be a positive integer. Denote by $\mathsf{s}_{\leq k}(G)$ the smallest positive integer $l\in \mathbb{N}\cup \{+\infty\}$ such that each sequence of length…

A sequence is difference algebraic (or D-algebraic) if finitely many shifts of its general term satisfy a polynomial relationship; that is, they are the coordinates of a generic point on an affine hypersurface. The corresponding equations…

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices. For a vertex i in G, the degree d_i is the number of vertices adjacent to i and the average 2-degree m_i is the mean of the degrees of the vertices which are adjacent to i. The sequence of…

R. Hofer and A. Winterhof proved that the 2-adic complexity of the two-prime (binary) generator of period $pq$ with two odd primes $p\neq q$ is close to its period and it can attain the maximum in many cases. When the two-prime generator is…

In this manuscript we study properties of multidimensional shifts. More precisely, we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for a shift to be sofic, i.e. the boundary between sofic shifts and effective ones. To this end, we use…

We prove the existence of a ternary sequence of factor complexity $2n+1$ for any given vector of rationally independent letter frequencies. Such sequences are constructed from an infinite product of two substitutions according to a…

In cryptography, we hope a sequence over $\mathbb{Z}_m$ with period $N$ having larger $m$-adic complexity. Compared with the binary case, the computation of 4-adic complexity of knowing quaternary sequences has not been well developed. In…

This paper examines Automatic Complexity, a complexity notion introduced by Shallit and Wang in 2001. We demonstrate that there exists a normal sequence $T$ such that $I(T) = 0$ and $S(T) \leq 1/2$, where $I(T)$ and $S(T)$ are the lower and…

This paper contributes to compute 2-adic complexity of two classes of Ding-Helleseth generalized cyclotomic sequences. Results show that 2-adic complexity of these sequences is good enough to resist the attack by the rational approximation…

We study the question of whether a sequence d = (d_1,d_2, \ldots, d_n) of positive integers is the degree sequence of some outerplanar (a.k.a. 1-page book embeddable) graph G. If so, G is an outerplanar realization of d and d is an…
