The DNA sequences containing multifarious novel symmetrical structure frequently play crucial role in how genomes work. Here we present a new scheme for understanding the structural features and ...

We study the large exceedance probabilities and large exceedance paths of the recursive sequence Vn = Mn Vn−1 + Qn, where {(Mn, Qn)} is an i.i.d. sequence, and M1 is a d × d random matrix and Q1 is a ...

A multi-institutional research team found the cognitive ability to represent recursive sequences occurs in humans and non-human primates across age, education, culture and species. Recursion -- 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 ...

Combining parallel multiple recursive sequences provides an efficient way of implementing random number generators with long periods and good structural properties. Such generators are statistically ...

In cognitive tests for recognizing certain types of patterns, crows outperformed monkeys. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Crows ...

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 ...
