An aptitude for mentally stringing together related items, often cited as a hallmark of human language, may have deep roots in primate evolution, a new study suggests. But “this work shows that the ...

Recursion -- the computational capacity to embed elements within elements of the same kind -- has been lauded as the intellectual cornerstone of language, tool use and mathematics. A ...

In this note a recursive type condition for positivity of the angle between past and future for q-variate stationary sequences is provided. In the case q = 2 it gives a simple different proof of a ...

A linear-recursive-sequence (LRS) generator produces binary sequences using a shift register and feedback through an exclusive-OR gate. The sequence length equals 2 N ­1, where N represents the number ...
