Coins with Arbitrary Weights
Given a set of m coins out of a collection of coins of k unknown distinct weights, we wish to decide if all the m given coins have the same weight or not using the minimum possible number of weighings in a regular balance beam. Let m(n, k) denote the maximum possible number of coins for which the above problem can be solved in n weighings. It is known that m(n, 2) = n 1 2 . Here we determine th...
متن کاملUniversit at Augsburg Classiication of Late Roman Bronze Coins Using an Object-oriented Database Classiication of Late Roman Bronze Coins Using an Object-oriented Database
The combination of digital libraries and applications from humanities is an important emerging eld that still faces great challenges. In this paper we investigate the science of numismatics and analyse how to digitize current manual practice for the classiication of ancient coins from the 4th century A.C. Our contributions are twofold. From the application's point of view we develop an improved...
متن کاملPrivate Coins versus Public Coins in Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems
Goldreich-Krawczyk (Siam J of Comp’96) showed that only languages in BPP have constant-round public-coin black-box zero-knowledge protocols. We extend their lower bound to “fully black-box” privatecoin protocols based on one-way functions. More precisely, we show that only languages in BPP—where Sam is a “collision-finding” oracle in analogy with Simon (Eurocrypt’98) and Haitner et. al (FOCS’07...
متن کاملMoving coins
We consider combinatorial and computational issues that are related to the problem of moving coins from one configuration to another. Coins are defined as non-overlapping discs, and moves are defined as collision free translations, all in the Euclidean plane. We obtain combinatorial bounds on the number of moves that are necessary and/or sufficient to move coins from one configuration to anothe...
متن کاملThe Coins of the Pāratarājas
It seems fitting that, at a seminar organized to celebrate the 100 th anniversary of the Numismatic Society of India, I present a paper that offers a solution to a problem even older than the Society. In 1905, E. J. Rapson had published a small group of five coins which he identified as „Coins with reverse type “Svastika.”‟ 2 The coins were unified by the presence on their reverses of a central...
