Josephus Nim [PDF]

Notes on Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics
In this study, we propose a variant of Nim that uses two piles. In the first pile, we have stones with a weight of a, and in the second pile, we have stones with a weight of -2a, where a is a natural number.

Noise Modulation‐Based Reversible Data Hiding with McEliece Encryption

Security and Communication Networks, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
McEliece cryptosystem is expected to be the next generation of the cryptographic algorithm due to its ability to resist quantum computing attacks. Few research studies have combined it with reversible data hiding in the encrypted domain (RDH‐ED). In this article, we analysed and proved that there is a redundancy in the McEliece encryption process that ...

Functional iteration and the Josephus problem [PDF]

Glasgow Mathematical Journal, 1991
The problem of Josephus is the following. We are given two positive integers n, q. There are n places arranged around a circle, and numbered clockwise 1, 2, …, n. Each of n people takes one of the places, then (please excuse this, but we didn't invent the problem!) every qth one is executed, until just one remains. More precisely, the occupant of place

On the generalized Josephus problem [PDF]

Glasgow Mathematical Journal, 1973
The problem of Josephus and the forty Jewsis well known [1, 3]. In its most general form, this problem is equivalent to the problem of m-enumeration of a set, as described below.Define the ordered setWe choose and remove cyclically, from left to right, each with element of Zn until the set is exhausted.

Bérose, de l’emprunt au faux

Kentron, 2012
Berossos of Babylon wrote a piece of work in Greek, dedicated to Antiochos I (281-261 BC) about the history and the culture of his country. The only knowledge we have of his work, entitled Babyloniaca, is to be found in quotations,

‘If those to whom the W/word of God came were called gods ...’– Logos, wisdom and prophecy, and John 10:22–30

HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2015
Jesus’ quotation of Psalm 82:6, ‘I said, You are gods’, a riposte to the accusation that he had blasphemed by making himself equal to God, has attracted considerable attention. The latest suggestion by Jerome H.

Randomisation in the Josephus problem

Combinatorics and Number Theory
The Josephus problem is a well--studied elimination problem consisting in determining the position of the survivor after repeated applications of a deterministic rule removing one person at a time from a given group. A natural probabilistic variant of this process is introduced in this paper. More precisely, in this variant, the survivor is determined

THE PROBLEM OF FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS

, 2018
In this work we present a solution to the problem proposed by the mathematician Flavius ​​Josephus, in the first century after Christ. According to legend, a group of rebels, among them Josephus, were trapped in a cave by the enemy army. Preferring suicide to capture, the rebels decided to form a circle and the first one should kill the soldier ...

Hospital variation in the treatment of cT1a renal cancer

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate treatment patterns and inter‐hospital variation of cT1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in seven Dutch teaching hospitals. Patients and methods In this historical multicenter cohort study, adults diagnosed with cT1a renal cancer (2019–2022) were identified through the Netherlands Cancer Registry.

Block Josephus Problem: When the reality is more cruel than the old story

Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2021
In the Josephus Problem, there are $n$ people numbered from $0$ to $n-1$ around a circle and proceeding around the circle every second person is executed until no one survives. Determining where to stand on the circle to be the last survivor is called the Josephus Problem.
