We discuss the use of negative bases in automatic sequences. Recently the theorem-prover Walnut has been extended to allow the use of base (-k) to express variables, thus permitting quantification over Z instead of N. This enables us to…
We consider the implementation of the transduction of automatic sequences, and their generalizations, in the Walnut software for solving decision problems in combinatorics on words. We provide a number of applications, including (a)…
Certain famous combinatorial sequences, such as the Catalan numbers and the Motzkin numbers, when taken modulo a prime power, can be computed by finite automata. Many theorems about such sequences can therefore be proved using Walnut, which…
Let $\alpha = (1+\sqrt{5})/2$ and define the lower and upper Wythoff sequences by $a_i = \lfloor i \alpha \rfloor$, $b_i = \lfloor i \alpha^2 \rfloor$ for $i \geq 1$. In a recent interesting paper, Kawsumarng et al. proved a number of…
Walnut is a software package that implements a mechanical decision procedure for deciding certain combinatorial properties of some special words referred to as automatic words or automatic sequences. Walnut is written in Java and is open…
We discuss an interesting sequence defined recursively; namely, sequence A105774 from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, and study some of its properties. Our main tools are Fibonacci representation, finite automata, and the…
We explore the Ziv-Lempel and Crochemore factorizations of some classical automatic sequences making an extensive use of the theorem prover Walnut.
Venkatachala on the one hand, and Avdispahi\'c & Zejnulahi on the other, both studiied integer sequences with an unusual sum property defined in a greedy way, and proved many results about them. However, their proofs were rather lengthy and…
We prove a recent conjecture of Sean A. Irvine about a nonlinear recurrence, using mechanized guessing and verification. The theorem-prover Walnut plays a large role in the proof.
We present a benchmark of 29687 problems derived from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS). Each problem expresses the equivalence of two syntactically different programs generating the same OEIS sequence. Such programs were…
Wu showed that certain sums of products of binomial coefficients modulo 2 are given by the run length transforms of several famous linear recurrence sequences, such as the positive integers, the Fibonacci numbers, the extended Lucas…
We present in this paper a new method to deal with automatic sequences. This method allows us to prove a M\"obius-randomness-principle for automatic sequences from which we deduce the Sarnak conjecture for this class of sequences.…
We use the resolution of singularities algorithm of [G4] to provide new estimates for exponential sums as well as new bounds on how often a function f(x) such as a polynomial with integer coefficients is divisible by various powers of a…
Motivated by the convolutive behavior of the counting function for partitions with designated summands in which all parts are odd, we consider coefficient sequences $(a_n)_{n\ge 0}$ of primitive eta-products that satisfy the generic…
The method of proof of Balog and Ruzsa and the large sieve of Linnik are used to investigate the behaviour of the $L^{1}$ norm of a wide class of exponential sums over the square-free integers and the primes. Further, a new proof of the…
We consider a continuous analogue of Babai et al.'s and Cai et al.'s problem of solving multiplicative matrix equations. Given $k+1$ square matrices $A_{1}, \ldots, A_{k}, C$, all of the same dimension, whose entries are real algebraic, we…
Let ftm = 0111010010001... be the analogue of the Thue-Morse sequence in Fibonacci representation. In this note we show how, using the Walnut theorem-prover, to obtain a measure of its complexity, previously studied by Jamet, Popoli, and…
Exponential sums have applications to a variety of scientific fields, including, but not limited to, cryptography, coding theory and information theory. Closed formulas for exponential sums of symmetric Boolean functions were found by Cai,…
We use automated theorem provers to significantly shorten a formal development in higher order set theory. The development includes many standard theorems such as the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and irrationality of square root of…
We explore the application of automated reasoning techniques to unknot detection, a classical problem of computational topology. We adopt a two-pronged experimental approach, using a theorem prover to try to establish a positive result…
