Project description

C. Heuberger's research interests include the asymptotic and probabilistic analysis of algorithms in the sense of D. Knuth (e.g., the expected occurrences of sub-blocks in certain digital expansions), cryptography (e.g., the design of sub-linear scalar multiplication algorithms on Koblitz curves), graph theory (e.g. optimising some graph theoretical indices), number theory (e.g., algorithmic solution of Diophantine equations) and combinatorial optimisation (in particular, inverse optimisation).
