Numbering action vertices in workflow graphs

Zoltán Ádám Mann (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Workflow graphs, consisting of actions, events, and logical switches, are used to model business processes. In order to easily identify the actions within a workflow graph, it is useful to number them in such a way that the numbering reflects the structure of the workflow. However, available tools offer only rudimental numbering schemes. In the paper, a set of natural requirements is defined that a logical numbering should fulfill. It is investigated under what conditions there is an appropriate...

On a characteristic property of Arnoux–Rauzy sequences

Jacques Justin, Giuseppe Pirillo (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Here we give a characterization of Arnoux–Rauzy sequences by the way of the lexicographic orderings of their alphabet.

On a devil’s staircase associated to the joint spectral radii of a family of pairs of matrices

Ian D. Morris, Nikita Sidorov (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The joint spectral radius of a finite set of real d × d matrices is defined to be the maximum possible exponential rate of growth of products of matrices drawn from that set. In previous work with K. G. Hare and J. Theys we showed that for a certain one-parameter family of pairs of matrices, this maximum possible rate of growth is attained along Sturmian sequences with a certain characteristic ratio which depends continuously upon the parameter. In this note we answer some open questions from that paper...

On a generalization of perfect b -matching

Ľubica Šándorová, Marián Trenkler (1991)

Mathematica Bohemica

The paper is concerned with the existence of non-negative or positive solutions to A f = β , where A is the vertex-edge incidence matrix of an undirected graph. The paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a solution.

On a paper by Castelli, Mignosi, Restivo

Jacques Justin (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Fine and Wilf's theorem has recently been extended to words having three periods. Following the method of the authors we extend it to an arbitrary number of periods and deduce from that a characterization of generalized Arnoux-Rauzy sequences or episturmian infinite words.

On abelian repetition threshold

Alexey V. Samsonov, Arseny M. Shur (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We study the avoidance of Abelian powers of words and consider three reasonable generalizations of the notion of Abelian power to fractional powers. Our main goal is to find an Abelian analogue of the repetition threshold, i.e., a numerical value separating k-avoidable and k-unavoidable Abelian powers for each size k of the alphabet. We prove lower bounds for the Abelian repetition threshold for large alphabets and all definitions of Abelian fractional power. We develop a method estimating the exponential...

On abelian versions of critical factorization theorem

Sergey Avgustinovich, Juhani Karhumäki, Svetlana Puzynina (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

In the paper we study abelian versions of the critical factorization theorem. We investigate both similarities and differences between the abelian powers and the usual powers. The results we obtained show that the constraints for abelian powers implying periodicity should be quite strong, but still natural analogies exist.
