A word is crucial with respect to a given set of prohibited words (or simply prohibitions) if it avoids the prohibitions but it cannot be extended to the right by any letter of its...
In this paper we study the convergence properties of the power series algorithm, which is a general method to determine (functions of) stationary distributions of Markov chains. W...
We show that an affine-invariant code C of length pm is not permutation equivalent to a cyclic code except in the obvious cases: m = 1 or C is either {0}, the repetition code or it...
Previous multicast research often makes commonly accepted but unverified assumptions on network topologies and group member distribution in simulation studies. In this paper, we p...
