A novel design-for-test (DFT) technique is presented for designing a core with a “virtual scan chain” which looks (to the system integrator) like it is shorter than the real s...
The digraphs P(n, k) have vertices corresponding to length k permutations of an n set and arcs corresponding to (k + 1) permutations. Answering a question of Starling, Klerlein, K...
We study approximation algorithms, integrality gaps, and hardness of approximation, of two problems related to cycles of "small" length k in a given graph. The instance f...
In the symmetric group on a set of size 2n, let P2n denote the conjugacy class of involutions with no fixed points (equivalently, we refer to these as “pairings”, since each ...
Abstract. While it is known previously that the cycle lengths of individual components of the AES round function are very small, we demonstrate here that the cycle length of the S-...
