چکیده

A sequence is said to be k-automatic if the n term of this sequence is generated by a finite state machine with n in base k as input. A result due to Cobham states that if a sequence is both kand `-automatic and k and ` are multiplicatively independent, then the sequence is eventually periodic. Allouche and Shallit defined (R, k)-regular sequences as a natural generalization of k-automatic sequences for a given ring R. In this paper we prove the following generalization of Cobham’s theorem: If a sequence is (R, k)and (R, `)-regular and k and ` are multiplicatively independent, then the sequence satisfies a linear recurrence over R.

Function fields in positive characteristic: Expansions and Cobham’s theorem

In the vein of Christol, Kamae, Mendès France and Rauzy, we consider the analogue of a problem of Mahler for rational functions in positive characteristic. To solve this question, we prove an extension of Cobham’s theorem for quasi-automatic functions and use the recent generalization of Christol’s theorem obtained by Kedlaya.  2008 Elsevier Inc.

LOGIC AND p-RECOGNIZABLE SETS OF INTEGERS

We survey the properties of sets of integers recognizable by automata when they are written in p-ary expansions. We focus on Cobham’s theorem which characterizes the sets recognizable in different bases p and on its generalization to Nm due to Semenov. We detail the remarkable proof recently given by Muchnik for the theorem of Cobham-Semenov, the original proof being published in Russian.

Generalization of Titchmarsh's Theorem for the Dunkl Transform

Using a generalized spherical mean operator, we obtain a generalization of Titchmarsh's theorem for the Dunkl transform for functions satisfying the ('; p)-Dunkl Lipschitz condition in the space Lp(Rd;wl(x)dx), 1 < p 6 2, where wl is a weight function invariant under the action of an associated re ection group.
