We present a sufficient condition for a pair of finite integer sequences to be degree sequences of a bipartite graph, based only on the lengths of the sequences and their largest and smallest elements.

We introduce a transformation of finite integer sequences, show that every sequence eventually stabilizes under this transformation and that the number of fixed points is counted by the Catalan numbers. The sequences that are fixed are precisely those that describe themselves — every term $t$ is equal to the number of previous terms that are smaller than $t$. In addition, we provide an easy way to enumerate all these self-describing sequences by organizing them in a Catalan tree with a specific labelling system.

ABSTRACTThis paper contains a proof that the description of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation is the same whether (1) an open system is contemplated and treated on the basis of the grand canonical ensemble, or (2) a closed system is contemplated and treated on the basis of the canonical ensemble without recourse to the method of steepest descents, or (3) a closed system is contemplated and treated on the basis of the canonical ensemble using the method of steepest descents. Contrary to what is usually believed, it is shown that the crucial factor governing the incidence of the condensation phenomenon of a system (open or closed) having an infinity of energy levels is the density of states N(E) ∝ En for high quantum numbers, a condition for condensation being n > 0. These results are obtained on the basis of the following assumptions: (i) For large volumes V (a) all energy levels behave like V−θ, and (b) there exists a finite integer M such that it is justifiable to put for the jth energy level Ej= c V−θand to use the continuous spectrum approximation, whenever j ≥ M c θ τ are positive constants, (ii) All results are evaluated in the limit in which the volume of the gas is allowed to tend to infinity, keeping the volume density of particles a finite and non-zero constant. The present paper also serves to coordinate much of previously published work, and corrects a current misconception regarding the method of steepest descents.

We evaluate [Formula: see text] for a certain family of integer sequences, which include the Fourier coefficients of some modular forms. In particular, we compute [Formula: see text] for all positive integers n for Ramanujan's τ-function. As a consequence, we obtain many congruences — for instance that τ(1000m) is always divisible by 64000. We also determine, for a given prime number p, the set of n for which τ(pn-1) is divisible by n. Further, we give a description of the set {n ∈ ℕ : n divides τ(n)}. We also survey methods for computing τ(n). Finally, we find the least n for which τ(n) is prime, complementing a result of D. H. Lehmer, who found the least n for which |τ(n)| is prime.

AbstractLetx0<x1<x2< ⋅⋅⋅ be an increasing sequence of positive integers given by the formulaxn=⌊βxn−1+ γ⌋ forn=1, 2, 3, . . ., where β > 1 and γ are real numbers andx0is a positive integer. We describe the conditions on integersbd, . . .,b0, not all zero, and on a real number β > 1 under which the sequence of integerswn=bdxn+d+ ⋅⋅⋅ +b0xn,n=0, 1, 2, . . ., is bounded by a constant independent ofn. The conditions under which this sequence can be ultimately periodic are also described. Finally, we prove a lower bound on the complexity function of the sequenceqxn+1−pxn∈ {0, 1, . . .,q−1},n=0, 1, 2, . . ., wherex0is a positive integer,p>q> 1 are coprime integers andxn=⌈pxn−1/q⌉ forn=1, 2, 3, . . . A similar speculative result concerning the complexity of the sequence of alternatives (F:x↦x/2 orS:x↦(3x+1)/2) in the 3x+1 problem is also given.

We consider a family of meta-Fibonacci sequences which arise in studying the number of leaves at the largest level in certain infinite sequences of binary trees, restricted compositions of an integer, and binary compact codes. For this family of meta-Fibonacci sequences and two families of related sequences we derive ordinary generating functions and recurrence relations. Included in these families of sequences are several well-known sequences in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).

We investigate the numbers $d_k$ of all (isomorphism classes of) distributive lattices with $k$ elements, or, equivalently, of (unlabeled) posets with $k$ antichains. Closely related and useful for combinatorial identities and inequalities are the numbers $v_k$ of vertically indecomposable distributive lattices of size $k$. We present the explicit values of the numbers $d_k$ and $v_k$ for $k < 50$ and prove the following exponential bounds: $$ 1.67^k < v_k < 2.33^k\;\;\; {\rm and}\;\;\; 1.84^k < d_k < 2.39^k\;(k\ge k_0).$$ Important tools are (i) an algorithm coding all unlabeled distributive lattices of height $n$ and size $k$ by certain integer sequences $0=z_1\le\cdots\le z_n\le k-2$, and (ii) a "canonical 2-decomposition" of ordinally indecomposable posets into "2-indecomposable" canonical summands.

Abstract In this paper we introduce the functions which count the number of generalized Lucas and Pell-Lucas sequence terms not exceeding a given value x and, under certain conditions, we derive exact formulae (Theorems 3 and 4) and establish asymptotic limits for them (Theorem 6). We formulate necessary and sufficient arithmetic conditions which can identify the terms of a-Fibonacci and a-Lucas sequences. Finally, using a deep theorem of Siegel, we show that the aforementioned sequences contain only finitely many perfect powers. During the process we also discover some novel integer sequences.
