Work by Ma and Holdener in 2005 revealed that using turtle graphics to visualize the Thue-Morse sequence can result in curves which approximate the Koch fractal curve. A 2007 paper by Allouche and Skordev pointed out that this phenomenon is…
The Thue-Morse sequence is an aperiodically ordered infinite binary sequence. It is used as a one-dimensional way to model the structure of a quasicrystal. For example, taking autocorrelations of these sequences (roughly, measuring how…
The Thue--Morse sequence is a prototypical automatic sequence found in diverse areas of mathematics, and in computer science. We study occurrences of factors $w$ within this sequence, more precisely, the sequence of gaps between consecutive…
Let $(t_n)_{n\ge0}$ be the well konwn $\pm1$ Thue-Morse sequence $$+1,-1,-1,+1,-1,+1,+1,-1,\cdots.$$ Since the 1982-1983 work of Coquet and Dekking, it is known that $\sum_{k<n}t_ke^\frac{2k\pi i}{3}$ is strongly related to the famous Koch…
Nous d\'ecrivons quelques r\'esultats r\'ecents sur la suite de Thue-Morse, ainsi que des questions ou conjectures, dont l'une, due \`a Shevelev, est r\'esolue dans cet article. We describe some recent results on the Thue-Morse sequence. We…
We prove various congruences for Catalan and Motzkin numbers as well as related sequences. The common thread is that all these sequences can be expressed in terms of binomial coefficients. Our techniques are combinatorial and algebraic:…
A formal inverse of a given automatic sequence (the sequence of coefficients of the composition inverse of its associated formal power series) is also automatic. The comparison of properties of the original sequence and its formal inverse…
The pair correlations of the Thue--Morse sequence and system are revisited, with focus on asymptotic results on various means. First, it is shown that all higher-order correlations of the Thue--Morse sequence with general real weights are…
We comment on some recent investigations on the electronic properties of models associated to the Thue-Morse chain and point out that their conclusions are in contradiction with rigorously proven theorems and indicate some of the sources of…
First we generalize the Thue-Morse sequence (the generalized Thue-Morse sequences) by a cyclic permutations and p-adic system, and consider the necessary-sufficient condition that it is non-periodic. Moreover if the generalized Thue-Morse…
The celebrated Thue-Morse sequence, or the Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence (A010060 in the OEIS), has a number of interesting properties and is a rich source to many (counter)examples. We introduce two different square-free sequences on three…
Infinite products associated with the $\pm 1$ Thue-Morse sequence whose value is rational or algebraic irrational have been studied by several authors. In this short note we prove three new infinite product identities involving ${\pi}$,…
We describe correlations functions of topological quantum mechanics (TQM) in terms of Morse theory. We review the basics of topological field theories and discuss geometric and algebraic interpretations of TQM. We prove that correlators in…
We put forward several general conjectures concerning the algebraicity or transcendence of continued fractions and Stieltjes continued fractions defined by the Thue-Morse and period-doubling sequences in characteristic $2$. We present our…
Fractalization of torus and its transition to chaos in a quasi-periodically forced logistic map is re-investigated in relation with a strange nonchaotic attractor, with the aid of functional equation for the invariant curve. Existence of…
We introduce self-similar algebras and groups closely related to the Thue-Morse sequence, and begin their investigation by describing a character on them, the "spread" character.
In this paper, we shall find a new connection between $n$th degree polynomial mod $p$ congruence with $n$ roots and higher-order Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. We shall first discuss the recent work been done in sequences and their…
Using the moving frame and invariants, any discrete curve in $\R^3$ could be uniquely identified by its centroaffine curvatures and torsions. In this paper, depending on the affine curvatures of the fractal curves, such as Koch curve and…
This paper is mostly a collection of ideas already published by various authors, some of them even a long time ago. Its intention is to bring the reader to know some rather unknown papers of different fields that merit interest and to show…
We consider a numeration system in the ring of integers ${\mathcal O}_K$ of a number field, which we assume to be principal. We prove that the property of being a prime in ${\mathcal O}_K$ is decorrelated from two fundamental examples of…
