In this paper we study the smallest Mealy automaton of intermediate growth, first considered by the last two authors. We describe the automatic transformation monoid it defines, give a formula for the generating series for its (ball volume)…
This paper studies which functions computed by $\mathbb{Z}$-weighted automata can be realized by $\mathbb{N}$-weighted automata, under two extra assumptions: commutativity (the order of letters in the input does not matter) and polynomial…
We consider the sequence ${J_m,m \ge 2}$ of the 3-state Mealy automata over an m-symbol alphabet such that the growth function of $J_m$ has the intermediate growth order $[n ^{{\log n}/{2 \log m}} ]$. For each automaton $J_m$ we describe…
We prove, for various important classes of Mealy automata, that almost all generated groups have an element of infinite order. In certain cases, it also implies other results such as exponential growth.
We consider a very simple Mealy machine (three states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. In particular, this is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup; we show that the growth function…
The growth of a finitely generated group is an important geometric invariant which has been studied for decades. It can be either polynomial, for a well-understood class of groups, or exponential, for most groups studied by geometers, or…
We consider harmonic functions of polynomial growth of some order $d$ on Cayley graphs of groups of polynomial volume growth of order $D$ w.r.t. the word metric and prove the optimal estimate for the dimension of the space of such harmonic…
We prove that if the group generated by a Mealy automaton acts level-transitively on a regular rooted tree, then the semigroup generated by the dual automaton has exponential growth, hence giving a decision procedure of exponential growth…
We define the class of groups of bounded type from tile inflations. These tile inflations also determine some automata describing the groups. In the case when the automata are stationary, we show that if the set of incompressible elements…
We consider the existence of periodic solutions to Hamiltonian Systems with growth conditions involving G-function. We introduce the notion of symplectic G-function and provide relation for the growth of Hamiltonian in terms of certain…
Submodular set functions are undoubtedly among the most important building blocks of combinatorial optimization. Somewhat surprisingly, continuous counterparts of such functions have also appeared in an analytic line of research where they…
We give a survey of results regarding existence and regularity for autonomous functionals of linear growth that depend on the symmetric rather than the full gradients.
We review models of compositional growth, which were introduced to explain the growth statistics of various quantities ranging from firm sizes to GDP. In these models, entities are decomposed into units that grow independently. Thus, the…
This article answers the question of V.M. Buchstaber about the growth function of a particular $n$-valued group. This question is closely related to discrete integrable systems. In this paper, we will find a formula for the growth function…
We define the Cayley graph and its growth function for multivalued groups. We prove that if we change a finite set of generators of multivalued group, or change the starting point, we get an equivalent growth function. We prove that if we…
We introduce two lattice growth models: aggregation of $l$-dimensional boxes and aggregation of partitions with $l$ parts. We describe properties of the models: the parameter set of aggregations, the moments of the random variable of the…
We study the geometry of a class of group extensions, containing permutational wreath products, which we call "permutational extensions". We construct for all natural number k a torsion group with growth function asymptotically…
For every sufficiently well-behaved function $g:\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ that grows at least linearly and at most exponentially we construct a tree $T$ of uniform volume growth $g$, that is, $$C_1\cdot g(r/4)\le…
We construct and classify all polynomial growth solutions to certain drift-harmonic equations on complete manifolds with paraboloidal asymptotics. These encompass the natural drift-harmonic equations on certain steady gradient Ricci…
The relationships between port-Hamiltonian systems modeling and the notion of monotonicity are explored. The earlier introduced notion of incrementally port-Hamiltonian systems is extended to maximal cyclically monotone relations, together…
