# Algebraic independence results for the generating functions of pattern sequences

We first introduce the notations of pattern sequence, which is defined by the number of (possibly) overlapping occurrences of a given word in the $\langle q,r\rangle$-numeration system. After surveying several properties of pattern sequence, we will give necessary and sufficient criteria for the algebraic independence of their generating functions. As applications, we deduce the linear relations between pattern sequences.

The proofs of the theorem and the corollaries are based on Mahler's method.

# On continued fraction expansion of potential counterexamples to mixed Littlewood conjecture

Mixed Littlewood conjecture proposed by de Mathan and Teulie in 2004 states that for every real number $x$ one has $\liminf q * |q|_D * ||qx|| = 0,$ where $|q|_D$ is a so called pseudo norm which generalises the standard p-adic norm. In the talk we'll consider the set mad of potential counterexamples to this conjecture. Thanks to the results of Einsiedler and Kleinbock we already know that the Haudorff dimension of mad is zero, so this set is very tiny. During the talk we'll see that the continued fraction expansion of every element in mad should satisfy some quite restrictive conditions. As one of them we'll see that for these expansions, considered as infinite words, the complexity function can neither grow too fast nor too slow.

# EViMS 2: Effective use of Visualisation in the Mathematical Sciences

## Friday, 21st Nov 2014

[Australian National University]

The Mathematical Sciences Institute will host a three day workshop on more effective use of visualization in mathematics, physics, and statistics, from the perspectives of education, research and outreach. This is the second EViMS meeting, following the highly successful one held in Newcastle in November 2012. Our aim for the workshop is to help mathematical scientists understand the opportunities, risks and benefits of visualization, in research and education, in a world where visual content and new methods are becoming ubiquitous.
