On digit-appending walks along linear recurrences
Arya Mosahab, Sahitya Boyyakar, Glenn Bruda +2
We study digit-appending walks in base along integer linear recurrences with minimal characteristic polynomials having a unique simple dominant root that lies outside…
Enumerating binary words restricted by subsequence frequency
Glenn Bruda
Let be a binary word of length with runs. Previously known only for , we show for sufficiently large that the number of binary words of length w…
Generalized polygonal number representations
Glenn Bruda
Let be the number of representations of as the sum of generalized -gonal numbers and be the number of representations of as the sum o…
The Limiting Spectral Distribution of Various Matrix Ensembles Under the Anticommutator Operation
Glenn Bruda, Bruce Fang, Raul Marquez +6
Inspired by the quantization of classical quantities and Rankin Selberg convolution, we study the anticommutator operation , where , applied to…
Asymptotic expansions for the reciprocal Hardy-Littlewood logarithmic integrals
Glenn Bruda
Defining a family of recurrences, we generalize Comtet's formula for the generating function of the enumeration of indecomposable permutations. Consequently, we generalize Panaitop…
Gromov-Hausdorff distances between quotient metric spaces
Henry Adams, Armando Albornoz, Glenn Bruda +7
The Hausdorff distance measures how far apart two sets are in a common metric space. By contrast, the Gromov-Hausdorff distance provides a notion of distance between two abstract m…
An alternative proof of the Puiseux representation of the exponential integral
Glenn Bruda
Working from definitions and an elementarily obtained integral formula for the Euler-Mascheroni constant, we give an alternative proof of the classical Puiseux representation of th…
A closed formula for linear recurrences with constant coefficients
Glenn Bruda, Bruce Fang, Pico Gilman +6
Given a linear recurrence of the form , it is well-known that , where the sum is taken over the set of characteristic root…
Variants of Conway Checkers and k-nacci Jumping
Glenn Bruda, Joseph Cooper, Kareem Jaber +2
Conway Checkers is a game played with a checker placed in each square of the lower half of an infinite checkerboard. Pieces move by jumping over an adjacent checker, removing the c…
On the convergence of Newton series and the asymptotics of finite differences
Glenn Bruda
Suppose a complex function has a Lebesgue measurable inverse Laplace transform. We show that the th order forward and backward differences of at tend…
Maclaurin Integration: A Weapon Against Infamous Integrals
Glenn Bruda
Maclaurin Integration is a new series-based technique for solving infamously difficult integrals in terms of elementary functions. It has fairly liberal conditions for sound use, m…
