In this paper we formalize a general model of cryptanalytic time/memory tradeoffs for the inversion of a random function f : {0, 1, . . . , N - 1} {0, 1, . . . , N - 1}. The model...
Abstract. We consider the offline and online versions of a bin packing problem called bin packing with conflicts. Given a set of items V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sizes s1, s2 . . ....
Gerards and Seymour (see [T.R. Jensen, B. Toft, Graph Coloring Problems, Wiley-Interscience, 1995], page 115) conjectured that if a graph has no odd complete minor of order p, the...
We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for randomly sampling (proper) k-colorings of an input graph G on n vertices with maximum degree ∆ and girth g. We...
For graphs G and H, let G H denote their Cartesian sum. This paper investigates the chromatic number and the circular chromatic number for GH. It is proved that (G H) max{ c(G)...
