Asymptotic growth rate for primitve S-adic systems
It is known that for a primitive substitution $S:\mathcal{A}\to \mathcal{A}^+$, there exists constants $c,C>0$ such that
$$ c\theta_S^n \leq \vert S^n(a)\vert \leq C \theta_S^n \quad \text{for all} ...

'Trivial' lower bounds for pattern complexity of aperiodic subshifts
I recently asked in this thread about lower bounds on the complexity in the case where we have an aperiodic subshift. If I denote $c_n(\Omega)$ as the number of possible patterns on $Q_n= \big\{ 0,...,...

Sufficient conditions for periodic tiling by Wang tiles
I'm recently interested in whether a sub-shift of finite type contains a doubly-periodic problem, when the set of configurations is of the sort $\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}^2}$. When $Q_2=\{0,1\}^2$, and ...

The critical exponent function
It is a known fact [1] that, for every $c\in (1,\infty]$, it is possible to find a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a word $w\in \mathcal{A}^\omega$ such that $w$ has critical exponent $c$. It looks ...

Search for a general formula from known iterative relation
$F$ is a mapping among $\{\theta_{n_1n_2}\}$, with $\eta_{1/2}$ being arbitrary constants involved.
$F: \theta_{n_1n_2} \rightarrow \theta_{n_1+1n_2}+\theta_{n_1n_2+1}+\eta_{1}n_1\theta_{n_{1}-1n_{2}} ...

The graph of Rule 110 and vertices degree
Consider the elementary cellular automaton called Rule 110 (famous for being Turing complete):
It induces a map $R: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that the binary representation of $R(n)$ is ...

Constructing an interval exchange given a prescribed trajectory
Given a prescribed trajectory, is it possible to construct an interval exchange having this trajectory?
For example, given a 3-letter word (like aaabbbccabcaaa ), is it possible to construct a 3- ...
