Motivated by the application of Reed-Solomon codes to recently emerging decentralized
storage systems such as Storj and Filebase/Sia, we study the problem of designing compact …

Mathematical notation includes a vast array of signs. Most mathematical signs appear to be
symbolic, in the sense that their meaning is arbitrarily related to their visual appearance. We …

We employ techniques from group theory to show that, in many cases, counting problems on
graphs are almost as hard to solve in a small number of instances as they are in all …

The notion of general quasi-overlaps on bounded lattices was introduced as a special class
of symmetric n-dimensional aggregation functions on bounded lattices satisfying some …

Broadcast and consensus are most fundamental tasks in distributed computing. These tasks
are particularly challenging in dynamic networks where communication across the network …

Used in many communities, Theatre for Development (TfD) allows performers and
audiences to interrogate their cultural history and their society to promote positive social …

Nullnorms are aggregation functions which generalize t-norms and t-conorms. For each
nullnorm there exists an annihilator element such that, below it, the function behaves like a t …

HM which depends on the group G and its subgroup H. An ultra-group is defined by the use
of the transversal in a group. Moreover, the elementary properties of an ultra-group are …
