The result is a sum of periodic fluctuations for eigenvalues of absolute value larger than the joint spectral radius of the matrices of a linear representation of the sequence. The Fourier coefficients of the fluctuations are expressed in terms of residues of the corresponding Dirichlet generating function. A known pseudo Tauberian argument is extended in order to overcome convergence problems in Mellin--Perron summation. Two examples are discussed in more detail: The case of sequences defined as the sum of outputs written by a transducer when reading a $q$ary expansion of the input and the number of odd entries in the rows of Pascal's rhombus.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-09T14:13:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A16", "11A63", "68Q45", "68R05" ], "keywords": [ "summatory function", "pascals rhombus", "regular sequence", "transducer", "pseudo tauberian argument" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
