Motivated by studies of data retrieval in polymer-based storage systems, we consider the problem of reconstructing a multiset of binary strings that have the same length and the same weight from the compositions of their prefixes and…

In this paper we prove a combinatorial theorem for finite labellings of trees, and show that it is equivalent to a theorem for finite covers of metric trees and a fixed point theorem on metric trees. We trace how these connections mimic the…

A class of structures is monadically dependent if one cannot interpret all graphs in colored expansions from the class using a fixed first-order formula. A tree-ordered $\sigma$-structure is the expansion of a $\sigma$-structure with a…

We call a linear code $C$ with length $n$ over a field $F$, a linear complementary equi-dual code, when there exists a linear code $D$ over $F$ such that $D$ is permutation equivalent to $C^\perp$ and $(C,D)$ is a linear complementary pair…

Cross-bifix-free sets are sets of words such that no prefix of any word is a sufix of any other word. In this paper, we introduce a general constructive method for the sets of cross-bifix-free q-ary words of fixed length. It enables us to…

We investigate weak recognizability of deterministic languages of infinite trees. We prove that for deterministic languages the Borel hierarchy and the weak index hierarchy coincide. Furthermore, we propose a procedure computing for a…

We give a short and direct proof of a remarkable identity that arises in the enumeration of labeled trees with respect to their indegree sequence, where all edges are oriented from the vertex with lower label towards the vertex with higher…

In the setting of minimal local grammar-based coding, the input string is represented as a grammar with the minimal output length defined via simple symbol-by-symbol encoding. This paper discusses four contributions to this field. First, we…

The relational width of a finite structure, if bounded, is always (1,1) or (2,3). In this paper we study the relational width of first-order expansions of finitely bounded homogeneous binary cores where binary cores are structures with…

The optimal prefix-free machine U is a universal decoding algorithm used to define the notion of program-size complexity H(s) for a finite binary string s. Since the set of all halting inputs for U is chosen to form a prefix-free set, the…

We survey known results and open problems in abelian combinatorics on words. Abelian combinatorics on words is the extension to the commutative setting of the classical theory of combinatorics on words. The extension is based on…

The paper considers algorithmic properties of classical and non-classical first-order logics and theories in bounded languages. The main idea is to prove the undecidability of various fragments of classical and non-classical first-order…

We discuss a notion of convergence for binary trees that is based on subtree sizes. In analogy to recent developments in the theory of graphs, posets and permutations we investigate some general aspects of the topology, such as a…

This work addresses the problem of computing measures of recognisable sets of infinite trees. An algorithm is provided to compute the probability measure of a tree language recognisable by a weak alternating automaton, or equivalently…

Several authors have proposed spatially-coupled (or convolutional-like) variants of product codes (PCs). In this paper, we focus on a parametrized family of generalized PCs that recovers some of these codes (e.g., staircase and block-wise…

Tree-ordered weakly sparse models have recently emerged as a robust framework for representing structures in an ``almost sparse'' way, while allowing the structure to be reconstructed through a simple first-order interpretation. A prominent…
