In this note we investigate the solutions of certain meta-Fibonacci recurrences of the form $f(n)=f(n-f(n-1))+f(n-2)$ for various sets of initial conditions. In the case when $f(n)=1$ for $n\leq 1$, we prove that the resulting integer…

Let $x\geqslant 3$. For $1\leqslant n\leqslant x$ an integer, let $\omega(n)$ be its number of distinct prime factors. We show that $\omega(n-1)$ satisfies an Erd\H{o}s-Kac type theorem whenever $\omega(n)=k$ where $1\leqslant k\ll\log\log…

We delineate a procedure to classify 6d N=(1,0) gauge theories composed, in part, of a semi-simple gauge group and hypermultiplets. We classify these theories by requiring that they satisfy some consistency conditions. The primary…

We state a construction theorem for specifications starting from single-site conditional probabilities (singleton part). We consider general single-site spaces and kernels that are absolutely continuous with respect to a chosen product…

For an arbitrary countable discrete infinite group $G$, nonsingular rank-one actions are introduced. It is shown that the class of nonsingular rank-one actions coincides with the class of nonsingular $(C,F)$-actions. Given a decreasing…

We investigate the sufficient conditions for boundedness of one type of difference equations of the form $x(n+1)=ax(n)+f(x(n)) + y(n), \ n\geq 1$ in critical case $|a|=1$. For this equation the following assumptions are introduced: 1) The…

We study an extension of first-order logic that allows to express cardinality conditions in a similar way as SQL's COUNT operator. The corresponding logic FOC(P) was introduced by Kuske and Schweikardt (LICS'17), who showed that query…

A Henkin-style proof of completeness of first-order classical logic is given with respect to a very small set (notably missing cut rule) of Genzten deduction rules for intuitionistic sequents. Insisting on sparing on derivation rules,…

A numeral system is defined by three closed $\lambda$-terms : a normal $\lambda$-term $d_0$ for Zero, a $\lambda$-term $S_d$ for Successor, and a $\lambda$-term for Zero Test, such that the $\lambda$-terms $({S_d}^{i} ~ d_0)$ are…

We investigate the conditions on an integer sequence f(n), n 2 N, with f(1) = 0, such that the sequence q(n), computed recursively via q(n) = q(n - q(n - 1)) + f(n), with q(1) = 1, exists. We prove that f(n + 1) - f(n) in {0,1}, n > 0, is a…

We begin a systematic development of structure theory for a first order theory, which is stable over a monadic predicate. We show that stability over a predicate implies quantifier free definability of types over stable sets, introduce an…

We consider definable topological spaces of dimension one in o-minimal structures, and state several equivalent conditions for when such a topological space $\left(X,\tau\right)$ is definably homeomorphic to an affine definable space…

Semiring semantics evaluates logical statements by values in some commutative semiring K. Random semiring interpretations, induced by a probability distribution on K, generalise random structures, and we investigate here the question of how…

A sign pattern is a matrix that has entries from the set $\{+,-,0\}$. An $n\times n$ sign pattern $\mathcal{P}$ is called consistent if every real matrix in its qualitative class has exactly $k$ real eigenvalues and $n-k$ nonreal…

Let $\cT$ be a monadic-second order class of finite trees, and let $\bT(x)$ be its (ordinary) generating function, with radius of convergence $\rho$. If $\rho \ge 1$ then $\cT$ has an explicit specification (without using recursion) in…

It is known that first-order logic with some counting extensions can be efficiently evaluated on graph classes with bounded expansion, where depth-$r$ minors have constant density. More precisely, the formulas are $\exists x_1 ... x_k \#y…

This paper deals with strong structural controllability of linear systems. In contrast to existing work, the structured systems studied in this paper have a so-called zero/nonzero/arbitrary structure, which means that some of the entries…

First-order Goedel logics are a family of infinite-valued logics where the sets of truth values V are closed subsets of [0, 1] containing both 0 and 1. Different such sets V in general determine different Goedel logics G_V (sets of those…

Let $K$ be a complete graph of order $n$. For $d\in (0,1)$, let $c$ be a $\pm 1$-edge labeling of $K$ such that there are $d{n\choose 2}$ edges with label $+1$, and let $G$ be a spanning subgraph of $K$ of maximum degree at most $\Delta$.…

We prove the existence of a positive semidefinite matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ such that any decomposition into rank-1 matrices has to have factors with a large $\ell^1-$norm, more precisely $$ \sum_{k} x_k x_k^*=A \quad \implies…
