Capabilities of Ultrametric Automata with One, Two, and Three States
2016
Ultrametric automata use p-adic numbers to describe the random branching of the process of computation. Previous research has shown that ultrametric automata can have a significant decrease in computing complexity. In this paper we consider the languages that can be recognized by one-way ultrametric automata with one, two, and three states. We also show an example of a promise problem that can be solved by ultrametric integral automaton with three states.
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…
Enumerating the Walecki-Type Hamiltonian Cycle Systems
2017
Let Kv be the complete graph on v vertices. A Hamiltonian cycle system of odd order v (briefly HCS(v)) is a set of Hamiltonian cycles of Kv whose edges partition the edge set of Kv. By means of a slight modification of the famous HCS(4n+1) of Walecki, we obtain 2n pairwise distinct HCS(4n+1) and we enumerate them up to isomorphism proving that this is equivalent to count the number of binary bracelets of length n, i.e. the orbits of Dn, the dihedral group of order 2n, acting on binary n-tuples.
A note on Taskinen's counterexamples on the problem of topologies of Grothendieck
1989
By the work of Taskinen (see [4, 5]), we know that there is a Fréchet space E such that Lb(E, l2) is not a (DF)-space. Moreover there is a Fréchet–Montel space F such that is not (DF). In this second example, the duality theorem of Buchwalter (cf. [2, §45.3]) can be applied to obtain that and hence is a (gDF)-space (cf. [1, Ch. 12 or 3, Ch. 8]). The (gDF)-spaces were introduced by several authors to extend the (DF)-spaces of Grothendieck and to provide an adequate frame to consider strict topologies.
Computing the Probability for Data Loss in Two-Dimensional Parity RAIDs
2017
Parity RAIDs are used to protect storage systems against disk failures. The idea is to add redundancy to the system by storing the parity of subsets of disks on extra parity disks. A simple two-dimensional scheme is the one in which the data disks are arranged in a rectangular grid, and every row and column is extended by one disk which stores the parity of it.In this paper we describe several two-dimensional parity RAIDs and analyse, for each of them, the probability for dataloss given that f random disks fail. This probability can be used to determine the overall probability using the model of Hafner and Rao. We reduce subsets of the forest counting problem to the different cases and show…
The small-world of 'Le Petit Prince': Revisiting the word frequency distribution
2016
[EN] Many complex systems are naturally described through graph theory, and different kinds of systems described as networks present certain important characteristics in common. One of these features is the so-called scale-free distribution for its node s connectivity, which means that the degree distribution for the network s nodes follows a power law. Scale-free networks are usually referred to as small-world because the average distance between their nodes do not scale linearly with the size of the network, but logarithmically. Here we present a mathematical analysis on linguistics: the word frequency effect for different translations of the Le Petit Prince in different languages. Compar…
Enumeration of Łukasiewicz paths modulo some patterns
2019
Abstract For any pattern α of length at most two, we enumerate equivalence classes of Łukasiewicz paths of length n ≥ 0 where two paths are equivalent whenever the occurrence positions of α are identical on these paths. As a byproduct, we give a constructive bijection between Motzkin paths and some equivalence classes of Łukasiewicz paths.
A Tight Lower Bound on Certificate Complexity in Terms of Block Sensitivity and Sensitivity
2014
Sensitivity, certificate complexity and block sensitivity are widely used Boolean function complexity measures. A longstanding open problem, proposed by Nisan and Szegedy [7], is whether sensitivity and block sensitivity are polynomially related. Motivated by the constructions of functions which achieve the largest known separations, we study the relation between 1-certificate complexity and 0-sensitivity and 0-block sensitivity.
A Generalization of Girod’s Bidirectional Decoding Method to Codes with a Finite Deciphering Delay
2012
In this paper we generalize an encoding method due to Girod (cf. [6]) using prefix codes, that allows a bidirectional decoding of the encoded messages. In particular we generalize it to any finite alphabet A, to any operation defined on A, to any code with finite deciphering delay and to any key x ∈ A+ , on a length depending on the deciphering delay. We moreover define, as in [4], a deterministic transducer for such generalized method. We prove that, fixed a code X ∈ A* with finite deciphering delay and a key x ∈ A *, the transducers associated to different operations are isomorphic as unlabelled graphs. We also prove that, for a fixed code X with finite deciphering delay, transducers asso…
