Abstract:

There are many fundamental problems concerning sequences that arise in many areas of mathematics and computation.  Typical problems include finding or avoiding patterns; testing or validating various `random-like’ behavior; analyzing or comparing different statistics, etc. In this talk, we will examine various notions of regularity or irregularity for  sequences and mention numerous open problems.
