Alias Types

Linear type systems allow destructive operations such as object deallocation and imperative updates of functional data structures. These operations and others, such as the ability to reuse memory at different types, are essential in low-level typed languages. However, traditional linear type systems are too restrictive for use in low-level code where it is necessary to exploit pointer aliasing....

March 7, 2002 PERMUTATION PATTERNS, ORDERED TREES AND CONTINUED FRACTIONS

We enumerate permutations which have exactly r 123-patterns and s 132patterns where r + s ≤ 2. We also give a new bijection between the ordered trees on n+1 vertices and 123-avoiding permutations of length n. We define the weight of ordered trees so that the bijection becomes weight-preserving, and find the generating function, in the form of a continued fraction, of 123-avoiding permutations o...

Randomness in Cryptography Lecture 7: Privacy ⇒ Extraction Continued

These steps will be useful when we consider other privacy primitives. We can use this proof as a blueprint with other primitives, as long as they have similar properties we can use in the security and correctness steps. The main question we will answer today is: to what extent can we generalize this result from encryption to other privacy primitives? We will also explore the limits of this proo...
