This string contains every possible 8-bit sequence which you can see by looking at consecutive strings of length 3.īut how do we find these sequences? It turns out these sequences correspond exactly to what are called *Hamiltonian cycles*, or a path through a certain type of graph which touches every vertex exactly once, and returns to the starting vertex. But for now, here is an embedded Sagemath cell.Ī (2,3) De Bruijn sequence looks like this: 00010111. These sequences are named after Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn, a Dutch mathematician who probably deserves his own post. De Bruijn sequences are, in a sense the most efficient way of encoding permutations. These are not necessarily binary sequences, but the easiest to visually see in binary. The final binary sequence I want to talk about here is another class of binary sequences called De Bruijn sequences. Yet another fractal pattern hidden in the Thue-morse sequence.ĭetails on why this happens can be found here. The fractal nature of the Thue-Morse sequence visualized.īut the coolest property is this: if you interpret the sequence as a set of instructions where 0 means move forward, and 1 means rotate by \(\pi/3\) radians, a familiar pattern begins to emerge. Let T = T = 0 let n = 0 while ( n < Infinity ) For example, you can indefinitely generate terms with just a few lines of code: 1 The recursive definition makes it very appealing to computer scientists. I first got interested in binary sequences in the summer of 2014 when I came across the Thue-Morse sequence (A010060). It would be interesting to explore different sequences where the next term is defined by flipping various guessing schemes on their heads. In order to make a sequence which was as hard as possible to guess, we flip that scheme on its head and say the next term in this sequence is the opposite of whatever your guess would have been! Hence this sequence is "maximally unpredictable". This is the longest chunk from the end which has appeared sometime earlier in the sequence so our guess is whatever value is in the 9th position, \(0\). The simplest representation consists of an electrical current or voltage, which is either on or off. For example, take these ten terms \ If we look at the last three terms \(101\), the last time this pattern occurred was in the 6th through 8th positions. The binary sequence to be transmitted is usually available in the form of an electrical signal taking one between two random discrete values. Longest chunk from the end which has appeared before.
