Motivated by computing duplication patterns in sequences, a new fundamental problem called the longest subsequence-repeated subsequence (LSRS) is proposed. Given a sequence $S$ of length $n$, a letter-repeated subsequence is a subsequence…
This paper presents results on maximal runs, order of squares, palindromes, and unbordered factors of members of the family of binary pattern sequences with the all-one pattern. Restricting ourselves to binary pattern sequences with the…
We introduce and study a new complexity function in combinatorics on words, which takes into account the smallest second occurrence time of a factor of an infinite word. We characterize the eventually periodic words and the Sturmian words…
We systematically study the factorization and recursion relations in higher genus correlation functions of BMN (Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase) operators in free N=4 super Yang Mills theory. These properties were found in a previous paper by…
Given a finite word $w$ over a finite alphabet $V$, consider the graph with vertex set $V$ and with an edge between two elements of $V$ if and only if the two elements alternate in the word $w$. Such a graph is said to be word-representable…
In this paper, we study a certain case of a subgraph isomorphism problem. We consider the Hasse diagram of the lattice $M_{k}$ (the unique lattice with $k+2$ elements and one anti-chain of length $k$) and want to find the maximal $k$ for…
Squier introduced a homotopical method in order to describe all the relations amongst rewriting reductions of a confluent and terminating string rewriting system. From a string rewriting system he constructed a $2$-dimensional combinatorial…
We consider the communication complexity of fundamental longest common prefix (Lcp) problems. In the simplest version, two parties, Alice and Bob, each hold a string, $A$ and $B$, and we want to determine the length of their longest common…
In this paper, we present two new constructions of complex codebooks with multiplicative characters, additive characters and trace functions over finite fields, and determine the maximal cross-correlation amplitude of these codebooks. We…
In this paper we consider a variant of Conway's sequence (OEIS A005150, A006715) defined as follows: the next term in the sequence is obtained by considering contiguous runs of digits, and rewriting them as $ab$ where $b$ is the digit and…
We prove that a uniformly random automaton with $n$ states on a 2-letter alphabet has a synchronizing word of length $O(n^{1/2}\log n)$ with high probability (w.h.p.). That is to say, w.h.p. there exists a word $\omega$ of such length, and…
Let $\pi$ be a permutation of the set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. Two disjoint order-isomorphic subsequences of $\pi$ are called twins. How long twins are contained in every permutation? The well known Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres theorem implies that…
The numbers we study in this paper are of the form $B_{n, p}(k)$, which is the number of binary words of length $n$ that contain the word $p$ (as a subsequence) exactly $k$ times. Our motivation comes from the analogous study of pattern…
Parameterized strings are a generalization of strings in that their characters are drawn from two different alphabets, where one is considered to be the alphabet of static characters and the other to be the alphabet of parameter characters.…
The exponent of a word is the ratio of its length over its smallest period. The repetitive threshold r(a) of an a-letter alphabet is the smallest rational number for which there exists an infinite word whose finite factors have exponent at…
In this expository paper, we mainly study orthogonal arrays (OAs) of strength two having a row that is repeated $m$ times. It turns out that the Plackett-Burman bound (\cite{PB}) can be strengthened by a factor of $m$ for orthogonal arrays…
A long-standing conjecture of Thomassen says that every longest cycle of a $3$-connected graph has a chord. Thomassen (2018) proved that if $G$ is a $2$-connected cubic graph, then any longest cycle must have a chord. He also showed that in…
We establish the restricted sumset analogue of the celebrated conjecture of S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy on additive decompositions of the set of nonzero squares over a finite field. More precisely, we show that if $q>13$ is an odd prime power, then the…
A string $w$ is said to be a minimal unique substring (MUS) of a string $T$ if $w$ occurs exactly once in $T$, and any proper substring of $w$ occurs at least twice in $T$. It is known that the number of MUSs in a string $T$ of length $n$…
Given a string $S$ of length $n$, its maximal unbordered factor is the longest factor which does not have a border. In this work we investigate the relationship between $n$ and the length of the maximal unbordered factor of $S$. We prove…
