Generating quasigroups for cryptographic applications

Czesław Kościelny (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A method of generating a practically unlimited number of quasigroups of a (theoretically) arbitrary order using the computer algebra system Maple 7 is presented. This problem is crucial to cryptography and its solution permits to implement practical quasigroup-based endomorphic cryptosystems. The order of a quasigroup usually equals the number of characters of the alphabet used for recording both the plaintext and the ciphertext. From the practical viewpoint, the most important quasigroups are of...

Generic extensions of nilpotent k[T]-modules, monoids of partitions and constant terms of Hall polynomials

Justyna Kosakowska (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that the monoid of generic extensions of finite-dimensional nilpotent k[T]-modules is isomorphic to the monoid of partitions (with addition of partitions). This gives us a simple method for computing generic extensions, by addition of partitions. Moreover we give a combinatorial algorithm that calculates the constant terms of classical Hall polynomials.

Geodetic sets in graphs

Gary Chartrand, Frank Harary, Ping Zhang (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For two vertices u and v of a graph G, the closed interval I[u,v] consists of u, v, and all vertices lying in some u-v geodesic in G. If S is a set of vertices of G, then I[S] is the union of all sets I[u,v] for u, v ∈ S. If I[S] = V(G), then S is a geodetic set for G. The geodetic number g(G) is the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set. A set S of vertices in a graph G is uniform if the distance between every two distinct vertices of S is the same fixed number. A geodetic set is essential if for...
