We analyse the first-order asymptotic growth of \[ a_{n}=\int_{0}^{1}\prod_{j=1}^{n}4\sin^{2}(\pi jx)\, dx. \] The integer an appears as the main term in a weighted average of the number of orbits in a particular quasihyperbolic automorphism of a 2n-torus, which has applications to ergodic and analytic number theory. The combinatorial structure of an is also of interest, as the ‘signed’ number of ways in which 0 can be represented as the sum of ϵjj for −n ≤ j ≤ n (with j ≠ 0), with ϵj ∈ {0, 1}. Our result answers a question of Thomas Ward (no relation to the fourth author) and confirms a conjecture of Robert Israel and Steven Finch.

Abstract In this paper, we give several pictorial fractal representations of the ample or K¨ahler cone for surfaces in a certain class of K3 surfaces. The class includes surfaces described by smooth (2, 2, 2) forms in ℙ1 × ℙ1 × ℙ1 defined over a sufficiently large number field K that have a line parallel to one of the axes and have Picard number four. We relate the Hausdorff dimension of this fractal to the asymptotic growth of orbits of curves under the action of the surface's group of automorphisms. We experimentally estimate the Hausdorff dimension of the fractal to be 1.296 ± .010.

Denote the Baumslag–Solitar family of groups as [Formula: see text]). When [Formula: see text] we study the Bass–Serre tree [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] as a geometric object. We suggest that the irregularity of [Formula: see text] is the principal obstruction for computing the growth series for the group. In the particular case [Formula: see text] we exhibit a set [Formula: see text] of normal form words having minimal length for [Formula: see text] and use it to derive various counting algorithms. The language [Formula: see text] is context-sensitive but not context-free. The tree [Formula: see text] has a self-similar structure and contains infinitely many cone types. All cones have the same asymptotic growth rate as [Formula: see text] itself. We derive bounds for this growth rate, the lower bound also being a bound on the growth rate of [Formula: see text].

For a bisexual Galton–Watson branching process with superadditive mating function there is a simple criterion for determining whether or not the process becomes extinct with probability 1, namely, that the asymptotic growth rate r should not exceed 1. When extinction is not certain (equivalently, r > 1), simple upper and lower bounds are established for the extinction probabilities. An example suggests that in the critical case that r = 1, some condition like superadditivity is essential for ultimate extinction to be certain. Some illustrative numerical comparisons of particular mating functions are made using a Poisson offspring distribution.
