A bivariate symmetric backwards recursion is of the form d[m, n] = w0(d[m− 1, n]+d[m, n−1])+ω1(d[m−r1, n−s1]+d[m−s1, n−r1])+· · ·+ωk(d[m−rk, n−sk] +d[m−sk, ...
We give a counterexample to a conjecture by Wild about binary matroids. We connect two equivalent lines of research in matroid theory: a simple type of basis-exchange property and ...
The security of hash functions based on a block cipher with a block length of m bits and a key length of k bits, where k ≤ m, is considered. New attacks are presented on a large ...
In this paper, we generalize the Ski-Rental Problem to the Bahncard Problem which is an online problem of practical relevance for all travelers. The Bahncard is a railway pass of t...
