Are semilinear sets piecewise periodic?
I wanted to check my understanding of semilinear sets before I give a talk on them, and I haven't been able to find this exact perspective in any of the sources I've read through. Is it correct, and ...

What is the cardinality of the set of Dyck natural numbers of semilength $k$?
In arXiv:2102.02777 ("Recursive Prime Factorizations: Dyck Words as Numbers"), I show that there is a 1:1 correspondence between $\mathbb{N} = \{0,1,2,3,4,\ldots\}$ and $\mathcal{D}_{r_{\...

Prove using Dyck naturals: for $n \in \mathbb{N}_{+}$ and big enough $k \in \mathbb{N}_{+}$, $p_{k-1} < \cdots < np_{k-a_{n}}$ (a is A073093)
While conducting research in connection with arXiv:2102.02777 ("Recursive Prime Factorizations: Dyck Words as Numbers"), I noticed certain interesting patterns, one of which inspired the ...

How can I catalog these generalized Collatz problems?
The Collatz conjecture can be expressed in terms of a ruleset in the language $\{x,+,1,\rightarrow,;\}$:
$x + x + 1 \rightarrow x+x+x+1+1;$
$x + x \rightarrow x;$
Whenever a number matches the LHS ...

Any grammar for the language $L =a^p$, $p$ is prime number of $\mathbb{N}$
Any grammar for the language
$$L =a^p,\text{ $p$ is prime and }p\in \mathbb{N}?$$
Is such a grammar related to any question of number theory like RH or the conjecture of twin primes?

any given c.e.set has number M whose power bounds the corresponding elements of S?
For S ,any given c.e.set,does there exist a M (integer) and a partially computable function outputing every element of S the c.e.set ,such that $\forall x\in S,\exists n x=f(n)$ and $x=f(n)\leq ...

Status of an open problem about semilinear sets
In his book "The Mathematical Theory of Context-Free Languages" (1966), Ginsburg mentioned the following open problem:
Find a decision procedure for determining if an arbitrary semilinear set
is a ...
