We present family of automatic sequences that define algebraic continued fractions in characteristic 2. This family is constructed from ultimately period words and contains the period-doubling sequence.

In this paper, given a simple linear recurrence sequence of algebraic numbers, which has either a dominant characteristic root or exactly two characteristic roots of maximal modulus, we give some explicit lower bounds for the index beyond…

For fast computation of the Arnold complexity of length $2^{n}$ binary words we obtain an upper bound for the Shannon function $Sh(n)$

Rigid monoidal 1-categories are ubiquitous throughout quantum algebra and low-dimensional topology. We study a generalization of this notion, namely rigid algebras in an arbitrary monoidal 2-category. Examples of rigid algebras include…

Given a natural number $k\ge 2$ and a $k$-automatic set $S$ of natural numbers, we show that the lower density and upper density of $S$ are recursively computable rational numbers and we provide an algorithm for computing these quantities.…

We study the possibility of designing $N^{o(1)}$-round protocols for problems of substantially super-linear polynomial-time (sequential) complexity on the congested clique with about $N^{1/2}$ nodes, where $N$ is the input size. We show…

A binary relation on graphs is recursively enumerable if and only if it can be computed by a formula in monadic second-order logic. The latter means that the formula defines a set of graphs, in the usual way, such that each "computation…

Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_1g)\cdot...\cdot(n_kg)$ where $g\in G$ and $n_1,\cdots,n_k\in[1,{\hbox{\rm ord}}(g)]$, and the index $\ind S$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum…

We study definable sets $D$ of SU-rank 1 in $M^{eq}$, where $M$ is a countable homogeneous and simple structure in a language with finite relational vocabulary. Each such $D$ can be seen as a `canonically embedded structure', which inherits…

The Subset Sum problem is a classical NP-complete problem with a long-standing $O^*(2^{n/2})$ deterministic bound due to Horowitz and Sahni. We present results at two distinct levels of generality. First (instance-sensitive bound), we…

In this paper we study the fundamental problem of finding small dense subgraphs in a given graph. For a real number $s>2$, we prove that every graph on $n$ vertices with average degree at least $d$ contains a subgraph of average degree at…

We reconstruct the Ashtekar's canonical formulation of N = 2 supergravity (SUGRA) starting from the N = 2 chiral Lagrangian derived by closely following the method employed in the usual SUGRA. In order to get the full graded algebra of the…

We show that sequences of positive integers whose ratios $a_n^2/a_{n+1}$ lie within a specific range are almost uniquely determined by their reciprocal sums. For instance, the Sylvester sequence is uniquely characterized as the only…

We construct the minimal bosonic higher spin extension of the 7D AdS algebra SO(6,2), which we call hs(8*). The generators, which have spin s=1,3,5,..., are realized as monomials in Grassmann even spinor oscillators. Irreducibility, in the…

Consider a face F in an arrangement of n Jordan curves in the plane, no two of which intersect more than s times. We prove that the combinatorial complexity of F is O(\lambda_s(n)), O(\lambda_{s+1}(n)), and O(\lambda_{s+2}(n)), when the…

Computing the topology of an algebraic plane curve $\mathcal{C}$ means to compute a combinatorial graph that is isotopic to $\mathcal{C}$ and thus represents its topology in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that, for a polynomial of degree $n$ with…

Let $\{u_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be the Sylvester's sequence (sequence A000058 in the OEIS), and let $ a_1 < a_2 < \cdots $ be any other positive integer sequence satisfying $ \sum_{i=1}^\infty \frac{1}{a_i} = 1 $. In this paper, we solve a…

For all positive even integers $n$, graphs of order $n$ with degree sequence \begin{equation*} S_{n}:1,2,\dots,n/2,n/2,n/2+1,n/2+2,\dots,n-1 \end{equation*} naturally arose in the study of a labeling problem in \cite{IMO}. This fact…

Let $(G_n(x))_{n=0}^\infty$ be a $d$-th order linear recurrence sequence having polynomial characteristic roots, one of which has degree strictly greater than the others. Moreover, let $m\geq 2$ be a given integer. We ask for…

We study the satisfiability problem of symbolic finite automata and decompose it into the satisfiability problem of the theory of the input characters and the monadic second-order theory of the indices of accepted words. We use our…
