Zero-Run Spectra of the (3,2) Raney numbers Modulo Primes
Abstract
We study the zero-run structure of the (3,2)-Raney numbers modulo a prime p. For every prime p, we determine the left-to-right maxima of the zero-run lengths, the complete zero-run spectrum, and the exact number of nonzero entries in 0≤ n<pm. Interestingly, these results fall into three cases: p=2, p=3, and p≥5, and the behaviors in these three cases are very different. For p=2, we characterize exactly the odd terms and determine the positions of the left-to-right maxima and the results involve Fibbinary integers, Fibonacci numbers, and Jacobsthal numbers. For p=3, we characterize exactly the nonzero terms and determine their residues. For p≥ 5, the zero runs are governed by a multiscale system of residue intervals modulo powers of p, from which both the record values and the complete zero-run spectrum are obtained.

AB - We study the zero-run structure of the (3,2)-Raney numbers modulo a prime p. For every prime p, we determine the left-to-right maxima of the zero-run lengths, the complete zero-run spectrum, and the exact number of nonzero entries in 0≤ n<p^m. Interestingly, these results fall into three cases: p=2, p=3, and p≥5, and the behaviors in these three cases are very different. For p=2, we characterize exactly the odd terms and determine the positions of the left-to-right maxima and the results involve Fibbinary integers, Fibonacci numbers, and Jacobsthal numbers.
