This work describes a mode of operation, TET, that turns a regular block cipher into a length-preserving enciphering scheme for messages of (almost) arbitrary length. When using a...
In this paper, we study online algorithms when the input is not chosen adversarially, but consists of draws from some given probability distribution. While this model has been stu...
Mader asked whether every C4-free graph G contains a subdivision of a complete graph whose order is at least linear in the average degree of G. We show that there is a subdivision...
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

We first prove that for any fixed k a cubic graph with few short cycles contains a Kk-minor. This is a direct generalisation of a result on girth by Thomassen. We then use this the...
