Varieties of Codes and Kraft Inequality
2007
Decipherability conditions for codes are investigated by using the approach of Guzman, who introduced in [7] the notion of variety of codes and established a connection between classes of codes and varieties of monoids. The class of Uniquely Decipherable (UD) codes is a special case of variety of codes, corresponding to the variety of all monoids. It is well known that the Kraft inequality is a necessary condition for UD codes, but it is not sufficient, in the sense that there exist codes that are not UD and that satisfy the Kraft inequality. The main result of the present paper states that, given a variety V of codes, if all the elements of V satisfy the Kraft inequality, then V is the var…
Generalized Schröder permutations
2013
We give the generating function for the integer sequence enumerating a class of pattern avoiding permutations depending on two parameters: m and p. The avoided patterns are the permutations of length m with the largest element in the first position and the second largest in one of the last p positions. For particular instances of m and p we obtain pattern avoiding classes enumerated by Schroder, Catalan and central binomial coefficient numbers, and thus, the obtained two-parameter generating function gathers under one roof known generating functions and expresses new ones. This work generalizes some earlier results of Barcucci et al. (2000) [2], Kremer (2000) [5] and Kremer (2003) [6].
Unavoidable sets and circular splicing languages
2017
Circular splicing systems are a formal model of a generative mechanism of circular words, inspired by a recombinant behaviour of circular DNA. They are defined by a finite alphabet A, an initial set I of circular words, and a set R of rules. In this paper, we focus on the still unknown relations between regular languages and circular splicing systems with a finite initial set and a finite set R of rules represented by a pair of letters ( ( 1 , 3 ) -CSSH systems). When R = A × A , it is known that the set of all words corresponding to the splicing language belongs to the class of pure unitary languages, introduced by Ehrenfeucht, Haussler, Rozenberg in 1983. They also provided a characteriza…
The Natural Order-Generic Collapse for ω-Representable Databases over the Rational and the Real Ordered Group
2001
We consider order-generic queries, i.e., queries which commute with every order-preserving automorphism of a structure's universe. It is well-known that first-order logic has the natural order-generic collapse over the rational and the real ordered group for the class of dense order constraint databases (also known as finitely representable databases). I.e., on this class of databases over 〈Q, <〉 or 〈R, <〉, addition does not add to the expressive power of first-order logic for defining order-generic queries. In the present paper we develop a natural generalization of the notion of finitely representable databases, where an arbitrary (i.e. possibly infinite) number of regions is allowed. We …
Enumerable classes of total recursive functions: Complexity of inductive inference
1994
This paper includes some results on complexity of inductive inference for enumerable classes of total recursive functions, where enumeration is considered in more general meaning than usual recursive enumeration. The complexity is measured as the worst-case mindchange (error) number for the first n functions of the given class. Three generalizations are considered.
On a class of languages recognizable by probabilistic reversible decide-and-halt automata
2009
AbstractWe analyze the properties of probabilistic reversible decide-and-halt automata (DH-PRA) and show that there is a strong relationship between DH-PRA and 1-way quantum automata. We show that a general class of regular languages is not recognizable by DH-PRA by proving that two “forbidden” constructions in minimal deterministic automata correspond to languages not recognizable by DH-PRA. The shown class is identical to a class known to be not recognizable by 1-way quantum automata. We also prove that the class of languages recognizable by DH-PRA is not closed under union and other non-trivial Boolean operations.
Some properties of vertex-oblique graphs
2016
The type t G ( v ) of a vertex v ? V ( G ) is the ordered degree-sequence ( d 1 , ? , d d G ( v ) ) of the vertices adjacent with v , where d 1 ? ? ? d d G ( v ) . A graph G is called vertex-oblique if it contains no two vertices of the same type. In this paper we show that for reals a , b the class of vertex-oblique graphs G for which | E ( G ) | ? a | V ( G ) | + b holds is finite when a ? 1 and infinite when a ? 2 . Apart from one missing interval, it solves the following problem posed by Schreyer et?al. (2007): How many graphs of bounded average degree are vertex-oblique? Furthermore we obtain the tight upper bound on the independence and clique numbers of vertex-oblique graphs as a fun…
Lehmer code transforms and Mahonian statistics on permutations
2012
Abstract In 2000 Babson and Steingrimsson introduced the notion of vincular patterns in permutations. They show that essentially all well-known Mahonian permutation statistics can be written as combinations of such patterns. Also, they proved and conjectured that other combinations of vincular patterns are still Mahonian. These conjectures were proved later: by Foata and Zeilberger in 2001, and by Foata and Randrianarivony in 2006. In this paper we give an alternative proof of some of these results. Our approach is based on permutation codes which, like the Lehmer code, map bijectively permutations onto subexcedant sequences. More precisely, we give several code transforms (i.e., bijections…
Über die Schnittzahlen mehrfach balancierter blockpläne
1991
Abstract For a finite incidence structure D with a set X of blocks let [ X ] be the number of points common with all blocks contained in X . We define the functions M(t)(B1,…; B1)=ΣB [B1, B]…[B1,B], and, for every partition ϖ = ϖ1,…,ϖ1) of t, the function Mϖ(B1,…,B1) = Σ Πm [Bi | i ϵ Rm], sum over all decompositions {l, …, t} = R1, ⊃ … ⊃ Rl, |Rm| = ϖm. We show: If D is t-fold balanced, then M(t) = Σϖ cϖMϖ, where the, coefficients cϖ are linear combinations of the parameters b1,…,bt, the constant numbers of blocks through any l,…, t distinct points. Conversely, if the rank of the b × b-matrix ([B, B∗])B,B∗ is equal to the number ν of points and M(t) is a rational linear combination of the fu…
Quantum Finite State Automata over Infinite Words
2010
The study of finite state automata working on infinite words was initiated by Buchi [1]. Buchi discovered connection between formulas of the monadic second order logic of infinite sequences (S1S) and ω-regular languages, the class of languages over infinite words accepted by finite state automata. Few years later, Muller proposed an alternative definition of finite automata on infinite words [4]. McNaughton proved that with Muller’s definition, deterministic automata recognize all ω-regular languages [2]. Later, Rabin extended decidability result of Buchi for S1S to the monadic second order of the infinite binary tree (S2S) [5]. Rabin theorem can be used to settle a number of decision probl…
