We study the stochastic convergence of the Ces\`{a}ro mean of a sequence of random variables. These arise naturally in statistical problems that have a sequential component, where the sequence of random variables is typically derived from a…

We study the notion of sparseness for regular languages over finite trees and infinite words. A language of trees is called sparse if the relative number of $n$-node trees in the language tends to zero, and a language of infinite words is…

We study metrical properties of various subsequences associated to the sequence of rational approximants coming from the continued fraction of an irrational number. Our methods build upon Bosma, Jager and Wiedijk's proof of the…

This paper investigates a new property of formal languages called REG-measurability where REG is the class of regular languages. Intuitively, a language \(L\) is REG-measurable if there exists an infinite sequence of regular languages that…

This paper studies when a sequence of probability measures on a metric space admit subsequential weak limits. A sufficient condition called sequential tightness is formulated, which relaxes some assumptions for asymptotic tightness used in…

We survey recent results concerning the complexity of regular languages represented by their minimal deterministic finite automata. In addition to the quotient complexity of the language -- which is the number of its (left) quotients, and…

We deal with finitely additive measures defined on all subsets of natural numbers which extend the asymptotic density (density measures). We consider a class of density measures which are constructed from free ultrafilters on natural…

With the widespread application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to various domains, concerns regarding the trustworthiness of LLMs in safety-critical scenarios have been raised, due to their unpredictable tendency to hallucinate and…

In this note, we study a class of random subsets of positive integers induced by Bernoulli random variables. We obtain sufficient conditions such that the random set is almost surely lacunary, does not have bounded gaps and contains…

In this article, we study about the $\lambda$-statistical convergence with respect to the density of moduli and find some results related to statistical convergence as well. Also we introduce the concept of $f_\lambda$-summable sequence and…

The sequential structure of language, and the order of words in a sentence specifically, plays a central role in human language processing. Consequently, in designing computational models of language, the de facto approach is to present…

We propose the Transcendental Encoding Conjecture for decision problems, which asserts that every language in complexity class P encodes to an algebraic real (possibly rational or algebraic irrational) under its binary characteristic…

An existing dialogue between number theory and dynamical systems is advanced. A combinatorial device gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of non-negative integers to count the periodic points in a dynamical system. This…

Let $S= (s_1<s_2<\dots)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers and denote $\mathbf{e}(\beta)=\mathrm{e}^{2\pi i \beta}$. We say $S$ is good if for every real $\alpha$ the limit $\lim_N \frac1N\sum_{n\le N}…

A $k$-modal sequence is a sequence of real numbers that can be partitioned into $k+1$ (possibly empty) monotone sections such that adjacent sections have opposite monotonicities. For every positive integer $k$, we prove that any sequence of…

Scale invariant scattering suggests that all Bernoulli numbers B_{2n} can be naturally partitioned, i.e., written as particular finite sums of same-signed, monotonic, rational numbers. Some properties of these rational numbers are discussed…
