Reformed permutations in Mousetrap and its generalizations

We study a card game called Mousetrap, together with its generalization He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. We first present some results for the latter game, based, on one hand, on theoretical considerations and, on the other one, on Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, we introduce a new combinatorial algorithm, which allows us to obtain the best result at least for French card decks (52 cards wit...

Building a Better Mousetrap

Routers in the network core are unable to maintain detailed statistics for every packet; thus, traffic statistics are often based on packet sampling, which reduces accuracy. Because tracking large (“heavy-hitter”) traffic flows is important both for pricing and for traffic engineering, much attention has focused on maintaining accurate statistics for such flows, often at the expense of small-vo...
