An important component of achieving language understanding is mastering the composition of sentence meaning, but an immediate challenge to solving this problem is the opacity of sentence vector representations produced by current neural…

We show that the compositions of positive integers may be interpreted in terms of powers of some power series, over arbitrary commutative ring. As consequences, several closed formulas for the compositions as well as for the generalized…

Let $m,k$ be fixed positive integers. Determining the generating function for the number of tilings of an $m\times n$ rectangle by $k\times 1$ rectangles is a long-standing open problem to which the answer is only known in certain special…

Let A be a nonempty finite set of relatively prime positive integers, and let p_A(n) denote the number of partitions of n with parts in A. An elementary arithmetic argument is used to obtain an asymptotic formula for p_A(n).

Let $r\ge k\ge 2$ be fixed positive integers. Let $\varrho_{r,k}$ denote the characteristic function of the set of $r$-tuples of positive integers with $k$-wise relatively prime components, that is any $k$ of them are relatively prime. We…

A finite deterministic (semi)automaton $\mathcal{A} =(Q,\Sigma,\delta)$ is $k$-compressible if there is some word $w\in \Sigma^+$ such that the image of its state set $Q$ under the natural action of $w$ is reduced by at least $k$ states.…

In this paper we study substitutions and some of their associated generating functions. This association takes aperiodicity to transcendence, and vice-versa. These generating functions have a recursive structure arising from the…

We study the generating function for the number of involutions on $n$ letters containing exactly $r\gs0$ occurrences of 3412. It is shown that finding this function for a given $r$ amounts to a routine check of all involutions on $2r+1$…

Suppose that $n$ drivers each choose a preferred parking space in a linear car park with $m$ spaces. Each driver goes to the chosen space and parks there if it is free, and otherwise takes the first available space with larger number (if…

Previous work has studied the pattern count on singly restricted permutations. In this work, we focus on patterns of length 3 in multiply restricted permutations, especially for double and triple pattern-avoiding permutations. We derive…

Unreplicated two-level factorial designs are often used in screening experiments to determine which factors out of a large plausible set are active. A theorem regarding the generalized word count pattern is stated and proved for…

Let us consider an infinite word and $k\geq 1$ an integer. By steps of $k$, we substitute a letter ofthis infinite word by the power of an external letter. The new word obtaining by this process is called $k$ to $k$ substitution of a power…

We investigate the number of sets of words that can be formed from a finite alphabet, counted by the total length of the words in the set. An explicit expression for the counting sequence is derived from the generating function, and…

We study word reconstruction problems. Improving a previous result by P. Fleischmann, M. Lejeune, F. Manea, D. Nowotka and M. Rigo, we prove that, for any unknown word $w$ of length $n$ over an alphabet of cardinality $k$, $w$ can be…

An occurrence of a classical pattern p in a permutation \pi is a subsequence of \pi whose letters are in the same relative order (of size) as those in p. In an occurrence of a generalized pattern, some letters of that subsequence may be…
