This monograph is based on the Ph. D. Thesis of the author [58]. Its goal is twofold: First, it
presents most researchwork that has been done during his Ph. D., or at least the part of the …

In the early 1980s there was virtually no serious communication among the various groups
that contribute to mathematics education--mathematicians, mathematics educators …

The automatic sequence is the central concept at the intersection of formal language theory
and number theory. It was introduced by Cobham (1969, 1972), and has been extensively …

It is well known (indeed, as Paul Erdos might have said, every child knows) that the rationals
are countable. However, the standard presentations of this fact do not give an explicit …

This collaborative volume presents recent trends arising from the fruitful interaction between
the themes of combinatorics on words, automata and formal language theory, and number …

We address the problem of the exact computation of two joint spectral characteristics of a
family of linear operators, the joint spectral radius (JSR) and the lower spectral radius (LSR) …

Combinatorics and Number Theory of Counting Sequences is an introduction to the theory
of finite set partitions and to the enumeration of cycle decompositions of permutations. The …

A numeration system based on a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers u 0= 1, u 1,
u 2,... expresses a non-negative integer n as a sum n=∑ ij= 0 aju j. In this case we say the …

We propose a new method to compute the joint spectral radius and the joint spectral
subradius of a set of matrices. We first restrict our attention to matrices that leave a cone …
