- Synopsis:
-
The seminar is devoted to combinatorics on infinite words, non-standard numeration systems and aperiodic tilings of the space.
The seminar often hosts foreign researcher. Students participate actively in solution of open problems in the field.
- Requirements:
-
Knowledge of mathematics in the extent of the
FNSPE bachelor's specialization Mathematical Informatics or Mathematical modeling.
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Combinatorics on words over a finite alphabet, infinite aperiodic words with low complexity. Morphisms and substitutions, their incidence matrix.
2. Aperiodic tilings of the space, self-similarity, aperiodic Delone sets, cut-and-project sets, mathematical models of quasicrystals.
3. Number representation in systems with irrational base, arithmetics in such systems.
