We investigate the computational complexity of finding an element of a permutation group H Sn with a minimal distance to a given Sn, for different metrics on Sn. We assume that...
One important requirement of electronic cash systems is the anonymity of customers. Unconditional anonymity is also very well suited to support criminals in blackmailing. Maitland ...
Abstract. We prove that a finitely generated group is context-free whenever its Cayleygraph has a decidable monadic second-order theory. Hence, by the seminal work of Muller and Sc...
At CRYPTO 2000, a new public-key encryption based on braid groups was introduced. This paper demonstrates how to solve its underlying problem using the Burau representation. By thi...
This work addresses the problem of automatic tracking of pedestrians observed by a fixed camera in outdoor scenes. Tracking isolated pedestrians is not a difficult task. The chall...
