A Characterization of Multidimensional S -Automatic Sequences

Emilie Charlier, Tomi Kärki, Michel Rigo (2009)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

An infinite word is S -automatic if, for all n 0 , its ( n + 1 ) st letter is the output of a deterministic automaton fed with the representation of n in the considered numeration system S . In this extended abstract, we consider an analogous definition in a multidimensional setting and present the connection to the shape-symmetric infinite words introduced by Arnaud Maes. More precisely, for d 2 , we state that a multidimensional infinite word x : d Σ over a finite alphabet Σ is S -automatic for some abstract numeration...

A combinatorial approach to partitions with parts in the gaps

Dennis Eichhorn (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

Many links exist between ordinary partitions and partitions with parts in the “gaps”. In this paper, we explore combinatorial explanations for some of these links, along with some natural generalizations. In particular, if we let p k , m ( j , n ) be the number of partitions of n into j parts where each part is ≡ k (mod m), 1 ≤ k ≤ m, and we let p * k , m ( j , n ) be the number of partitions of n into j parts where each part is ≡ k (mod m) with parts of size k in the gaps, then p * k , m ( j , n ) = p k , m ( j , n ) .
