: For polyominoes coded by their boundary word, we describe a quadratic O(n2) algorithm in the boundary length n which improves the naive O(n4) algorithm. Techniques used emanate f...
This article is not a research paper, but a little note on the history of combinatorics: we present here a tentative short biography of Henri Delannoy, and a survey of his most no...
: We generalize the notion of pattern avoidance to arbitrary functions on ordered sets, and consider specifically three scenarios for permutations: linear, cyclic and hybrid, the f...
We explain the essence of K. Mulmuley and M. Sohoni, "Geometric Complexity Theory I: An Approach to the P vs. NP and Related Problems" [MS02] for a general complexity-the...
Extractors are functions which are able to "extract" random bits from arbitrary distributions which "contain" sufficient randomness. Explicit constructions of ...
