The factor complexity function $C_w(n)$ of a finite or infinite word $w$ counts the number of distinct factors of $w$ of length $n$ for each $n \ge 0$. A finite word $w$ of length $|w|$ is said to be trapezoidal if the graph of its factor…

Given an input string s and a specific Lindenmayer system (the so-called Fibonacci grammar), we define an automaton which is capable of (i) determining whether s belongs to the set of strings that the Fibonacci grammar can generate (in…

Infinite words, also known as streams, hold significant interest in computer science and mathematics, raising the natural question of how their complexity should be measured. We introduce cellular automaton reducibility as a measure of…

The quaternion equation X^n=A is solved for any integer number n > 1. A is a given quaternion with komplex numbers as its elements. We use the isomorphism between quaternions and (4,4)-matrices to solve this equation.

We present a natural, combinatorial problem whose solution is given by the meta-Fibonacci recurrence relation $a(n) = \sum_{i=1}^p a(n-i+1 - a(n-i))$, where $p$ is prime. This combinatorial problem is less general than those given in [3]…

We investigate the state complexity of the permutation operation, or the commutative closure, on Alphabetical Pattern Constraints (APC). This class corresponds to level $3/2$ of the Straubing-Th{\'e}rien Hierarchy and includes the finite,…

We study the satisfiability problem of symbolic tree automata and decompose it into the satisfiability problem of the existential first-order theory of the input characters and the existential monadic second-order theory of the indices of…

Let $\|n\|$ stand for the integer complexity of the number $n$, i.e. for the least number of $1$'s needed to write $n$ using arbitrary many additions, multiplications, and parentheses. The two-sided inequality $3\log_3 n\leq\|n\|\leq…

The non-repetitive complexity $nr\mathcal{C}_{\bf u}$ and the initial non-repetitive complexity $inr\mathcal{C}_{\bf u}$ are functions which reflect the structure of the infinite word ${\bf u}$ with respect to the repetitions of factors of…

The $n$th term of an automatic sequence is the output of a deterministic finite automaton fed with the representation of $n$ in a suitable numeration system. In this paper, instead of considering automatic sequences built on a numeration…

This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional…

The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. In this note, we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the prefix of…

We survey the average-case complexity of problems in NP. We discuss various notions of good-on-average algorithms, and present completeness results due to Impagliazzo and Levin. Such completeness results establish the fact that if a certain…

A numerical scheme is developed for the evaluation of Abramowitz functions $J_n$ in the right half of the complex plane. For $n=-1,\, \ldots,\, 2$, the scheme utilizes series expansions for $|z|<1$ and asymptotic expansions for $|z|>R$ with…

I present a recursive formula for calculating the number of abelian squares of length $n+n$ over an alphabet of size $d$. The presented formula is similar to a previously known formula but has substantially lower complexity when $d\gg n$.

An abelian processor is an automaton whose output is independent of the order of its inputs. Bond and Levine have proved that a network of abelian processors performs the same computation regardless of processing order (subject only to a…

We exhibit the construction of a deterministic automaton that, given k > 0, recognizes the (regular) language of k-differentiable words. Our approach follows a scheme of Crochemore et al. based on minimal forbidden words. We extend this…

In this work we construct an automaton for the commutative closure of a given regular group language. The number of states of the resulting automaton is bounded by the number of states of the original automaton, raised to the power of the…

Convex solutions $A,B,I,J$ of four Abel equations are numerically studied. We do not know exact formulas for any of these functions, but conjecture that $A,B$ and $I,J$ are closely related. [Corrigendum at end.]

Using the lattice paths in $\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N}$, we derive a general formula for sequences $\big(T(n,k)\big)$ satisfying the recurrence relation of the form: \begin{equation*} T((n,k)=a_{n,k}T(n-1,k)+b_{n,k}T(n-1,k-1).…
