Signed bits and fast exponentiation
An exact analysis is given of the benefits of using the non-adjacent form representation for integers (rather than the binary representation), when computing powers of elements in a group in which inverting is easy. By counting the number of multiplications for a random exponent requiring a given number of bits in its binary representation, we arrive at a precise version of the known asymptotic result that on average one in three signed bits in the non-adjacent form is non-zero. This shows that...

Some Algebraic Properties of Machine Poset of Infinite Words
The complexity of infinite words is considered from the point of view of a transformation with a Mealy machine that is the simplest model of a finite automaton transducer. We are mostly interested in algebraic properties of the underlying partially ordered set. Results considered with the existence of supremum, infimum, antichains, chains and density aspects are investigated.

Some problems in automata theory which depend on the models of set theory
We prove that some fairly basic questions on automata reading infinite words depend on the models of the axiomatic system ZFC. It is known that there are only three possibilities for the cardinality of the complement of an ω-language L(x1d49c;) accepted by a Büchi 1-counter automaton x1d49c;. We prove the following surprising result: there exists a 1-counter Büchi automaton x1d49c; such that the cardinality of the complement L(𝒜) − of the ω-language L(𝒜) is not determined...
