Automatic Sequences : Theory, Applications, Generalizations
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... the very first book that gathers together results from various fields of mathematics and computer science that appeared in a broad variety of journals. It presents the results in a unified manner, making use of a consistent notation and introduces some good unifying terminology, and including most of the material needed for a comprehensive exposition ... useful also as a handbook for self study ... extremely valuable as a reference text ... I strongly recommend this excellent book to anybody interested in interaction between theoretical computer science and mathematics.' ACM SIGACT News
'The book is very well written, and contains a tremendous amount of information ... Advanced students and researchers will delight in reading Automatic Sequences.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
'The material presented in this book is well balanced, and is presented in a consistent framework ... I highly recommend this book to interested readers, from advanced undergraduates to experts in the field of formal languages and number theory.' Computing Reviews
Book Description
Combining concepts of mathematics and computer science, this book is about the sequences of symbols that can be generated by simple models of computation called "finite automata". Suitable for graduate students or advanced undergraduates, it starts from elementary principles and develops the basic theory. The study then progresses to show how these ideas can be applied to solve problems in number theory and physics.
