We study the asymptotics and fine-scale behavior of quantitative combinatorial measures of infinite words and related dynamical and algebraic structures. We construct infinite recurrent words $w$ whose complexity functions $p_w(n)$ are…

The Fibonacci infinite word ${\bf f} = (f_i)_{i \geq 0} = 01001010\cdots$ is one of the most celebrated objects in combinatorics on words. There is a simple $5$-state automaton that, given $i$ in lsd-first Zeckendorf representation,…

This paper depicts algorithms for solving the decision Boolean Satisfiability Problem. An extreme problem is formulated to analyze the complexity of algorithms and the complexity for solving it. A novel and easy reformulation as a lottery…

Ackermann's function can be expressed using an iterative algorithm, which essentially takes the form of a term rewriting system. Although the termination of this algorithm is far from obvious, its equivalence to the traditional recursive…

This paper concerns the question to what extent it can be efficiently determined whether an arbitrary program correctly solves a given problem. This question is investigated with programs of a very simple form, namely instruction sequences,…

Every automaton can be decomposed into a cascade of basic prime automata. This is the Prime Decomposition Theorem by Krohn and Rhodes. Guided by this theory, we propose automata cascades as a structured, modular, way to describe automata as…

A non-deterministic automaton running on infinite trees is unambiguous if it has at most one accepting run on every tree. The class of languages recognisable by unambiguous tree automata is still not well-understood. In particular,…

Most slowly synchronizing automata over binary alphabets are circular, i.e., containing a letter permuting the states in a single cycle, and their set of synchronizing words has maximal state complexity, which also implies complete…

We consider the billiard map in the hypercube of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We obtain a language by coding the billiard map by the faces of the hypercube. We investigate the complexity function of this language. We prove that $n^{3d-3}$ is the order…

Automata networks are a versatile model of finite discrete dynamical systems composed of interacting entities (the automata), able to embed any directed graph as a dynamics on its space of configurations (the set of vertices, representing…

We survey results about computational complexity of the word problem in groups, Dehn functions of groups and related problems.

The avoidability, or unavoidability of patterns in words over finite alphabets has been studied extensively. A word (pattern) over a finite set is said to be unavoidable if, for all but finitely many words, there exists a morphism mapping…

We show that the 2-abelian complexity of the infinite Thue-Morse word is 2-regular, and other properties of the 2-abelian complexity, most notably that it is a concatenation of palindromes of increasing length. We also show sharp bounds for…

"Quantitative languages are extension of boolean languages that assign to each word a real number. Mean-payoff automata are finite automata with numerical weights on transitions that assign to each infinite path the long-run average of the…

The complexity function of an infinite word $w$ on a finite alphabet $A$ is the sequence counting, for each non-negative $n$, the number of words of length $n$ on the alphabet $A$ that are factors of the infinite word $w$. For any given…

B\"uchi arithmetics BA_n, n >= 2, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol V_n(x) denoting the largest power of n that divides x. Definability of a set in BA_n is equivalent to its recognizability by a finite…

Here we consider an approach for fast computing the algebraic degree of Boolean functions. It combines fast computing the ANF (known as ANF transform) and thereafter the algebraic degree by using the weight-lexicographic order (WLO) of the…

We consider the complexities of substitutive sequences over a binary alphabet. By studying various types of special words, we show that, knowing some initial values, its complexity can be completely formulated via a recurrence formula…

In this paper, we study a class of cellular automata (CA) called stable cellular automata (SCA) that preserve stability by reflection, modulo-recurrent, and richness. After applying these automata to Sturmian words, we determine some of…

When decomposing a finite semigroup into a wreath product of groups and aperiodic semigroups, complexity measures the minimal number of groups that are needed. Determining an algorithm to compute complexity has been an open problem for…
