چکیده
Fix a finite set S ⊂ GL(k,Z). Denote by an the number of products of matrices in S of length n that are equal to 1. We show that the sequence {an} is not always P-recursive. This answers a question of Kontsevich.

Design of low power random number generators for quantum-dot cellular automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are a promising nanotechnology to implement digital circuits at the nanoscale. Devices based on QCA have the advantages of faster speed, lower power consumption, and greatly reduced sizes. In this paper, we are presented the circuits, which generate random numbers in QCA. Random numbers have many uses in science, art, statistics, cryptography, gaming, gambli...
متن کاملOn Amenability of Automata Groups
We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability just of a certain explicit family of groups (“Mother groups”) which is done by analyzing the asymptotic properties of random walks on these groups.
متن کاملThe Spectra of Lamplighter Groups and Cayley Machines
We calculate the spectra and spectral measures associated to random walks on restricted wreath products G wr Z, with G a finite abelian group, by realizing them as groups generated by automata. This generalizes the work of Grigorchuk and Żuk on the lamplighter group. More generally we calculate the spectra of random walks on groups generated by Cayley machines of finite groups and calculate Kes...

متن کاملRate of Escape of Random Walks on Regular Languages and Free Products by Amalgamation of Finite Groups
We consider random walks on the set of all words over a finite alphabet such that in each step only the last two letters of the current word may be modified and only one letter may be adjoined or deleted. We assume that the transition probabilities depend only on the last two letters of the current word. Furthermore, we consider also the special case of random walks on free products by amalgama...
