We develop a new tool, namely polynomial and linear algebraic methods, for studying systems of word equations. We illustrate its usefulness by giving essentially simpler proofs of several hard problems. At the same time we prove extensions…
We give a short, self-contained, and elementary proof of the strong law of large numbers under a power law decay hypothesis for joint second moments. The result is related to the classical one by Lyons. However, we also provide a rate of…
Let A be a finite or countable alphabet and let $\theta$ be a literal (anti-)automorphism onto A * (by definition, such a correspondence is determinated by a permutation of the alphabet). This paper deals with sets which are invariant under…
Superpermutations are words over a finite alphabet containing every permutation as a factor. Finding the minimal length of a superpermutation is still an open problem. In this article, we introduce superpermutations matrices. We establish a…
Renyi's information measures ---the Renyi information, mean, capacity, radius, and center--- are analyzed relying on the elementary properties of the Renyi divergence and the power means. The van Erven-Harremoes conjecture is proved for any…
Ramsey theory for words over a finite alphabet was unified in the work of Carlson and Furstenberg-Katznelson. Carlson, in the same work, outlined a method to extend the theory for words over an infinite alphabet, but subject to a fixed…
We consider the four fragments FO2, the intersection of Sigma2 and FO2, the intersection of Pi2 and FO2, and Delta2 of first-order logic FO[<] over finite and infinite words. For all four fragments, we give characterizations in terms of…
We introduce a partial order on the set of all reduced words of a given permutation $\omega$, called \emph{directed-braid poset} of $\omega$. This poset enables us to produce two algorithms: One is a sorting algorithm applied on any reduced…
In this paper we prove an extreme value law for a stochastic process obtained by iterating the R\'enyi map $x \mapsto \beta x \pmod 1$, where we assume that $\beta>1$ is an integer. Haiman (2018) derived a recursion formula for the Lebesgue…
The strong law of large numbers for linear combinations of functions of order statistics ($L$-statistics) based on weakly dependent random variables is proven. We also establish the Glivenko--Cantelli theorem for $\phi$-mixing sequences of…
The aim of Reverse Mathematics(RM for short)is to find the minimal axioms needed to prove a given theorem of ordinary mathematics. These minimal axioms are almost always equivalent to the theorem, working over the base theory of RM, a weak…
In this paper we describe a variation of the classical permutation decoding algorithm that can be applied to any affine-invariant code with respect to certain type of information sets. In particular, we can apply it to the family of…
Many natural notions of additive and multiplicative largeness arise from results in Ramsey theory. In this paper, we explain the relationships between these notions for subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ and in more general ring-theoretic structures.…
The distribution of frequency counts of distinct words by length in a language's vocabulary will be analyzed using two methods. The first, will look at the empirical distributions of several languages and derive a distribution that…
Chang's Lemma is a widely employed result in additive combinatorics. It gives bounds on the dimension of the large spectrum of probability distributions on finite abelian groups. Recently, Bloom (2016) presented a powerful variant of…
We prove several general formulas for the distributions of various permutation statistics over any set of permutations whose quasisymmetric generating function is a symmetric function. Our formulas involve certain kinds of plethystic…
We obtain an explicit formula for the total number of descents and levels in tensor words and cyclic tensor words of arbitrary dimension. We also establish the exact maximal number of descents in words and use it to obtain an upper bound on…
Let $G_{k,n}$ be a group of permutations of $kn$ objects which permutes things independently in disjoint blocks of size $k$ and then permutes the blocks. We investigate the probabilistic and/or enumerative aspects of random elements of…
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…
Frobenius observed that the number of times an element of a finite group is obtained as a commutator is given by a specific combination of the irreducible characters of the group. More generally, for any word w the number of times an…
