Using Zeilberger’s factorization of two-stack-sortable permutations, we write a functional equation — of a strange sort — that defines their generating function according t...
Abstract. Kummer type formulas are identities of hypergeometric series. A symmetry by the permutations of n-letters yields these formulas. We will present an algorithmic method to ...
Trevisan has shown that constructions of pseudo-random generators from hard functions (the Nisan-Wigderson approach) also produce extractors. We show that constructions of pseudo-r...
Abstract. A simple one-way function along with its proposed application in symmetric cryptography is described. The function is computable with three elementary operations on permu...
