Let M be a matroid representable over a (partial) field and B a matrix representable over a sub-partial field . We say that B confines M to if, whenever a -representation matrix ...
There exist several theorems which state that when a matroid is representable over distinct fields 1,..., k, it is also representable over other fields. We prove a theorem, the Li...
Holland's Schema Theorem is widely taken to be the foundation for explanations of the power of genetic algorithms (GAs). Yet some dissent has been expressed as to its implica...
Abstract. We present EasyCrypt, an automated tool for elaborating security proofs of cryptographic systems from proof sketches—compact, formal representations of the essence of a...
Abstract. We introduce "matroid parse trees" which, using only a limited amount of information at each node, can build up the vector representations of matroids of bounde...
