We present the homomorphic evaluation of the Prince block cipher. Our leveled implementation is based on a generalization of NTRU. We are motivated by the drastic bandwidth savings that may be achieved by scheme conversion. To unlock this advantage we turn to lightweight ciphers such as Prince. These ciphers were designed from scratch to yield fast and compact implementations on resource-constr...

Every winning candidate (grammatical output) is a last resort under OT. It is the best one (or within the set of the best ones) left after the impossible have been eliminated: the last one standing. I will refer to the observation that grammatical structures have a last resort appearance as the Last Resort (LR) effect. The LR effect is a theorem of OT. There is no “Last Resort” principle or con...

the Grand President of the League, and Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, the Lady President. Consequently, when the Prince came into the garden from Clarence House at four o'clock, the lawns which lie in front of the State apartments were thronged. In the absence abroad of Lord Wolferton, the senior Honorary Secretary, the Prince was received by Sir William Collins and Sir James Harrison, Ho...

In this squib, I present an alternative view of the Gen and Eval mechanisms that lie at the heart of Optimality Theory (“OT”) (see Prince and Smolensky 1993, McCarthy and Prince 1993). As originally conceived, Gen is a pattern generator which creates an infinite set of possible phonological realizations of a lexical input string (“candidates”). Eval then evaluates the entire (infinite) set to d...
