Riffle shuffles of a deck with repeated cards [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2009
We study the Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds model for riffle shuffles and ask 'How many times must a deck of cards be shuffled for the deck to be in close to random order?'. In 1992, Bayer and Diaconis gave a solution which gives exact and asymptotic results for all decks of practical interest, e.g. a deck of 52 cards.

A generalization of the carries process [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
We consider a carries process which is a generalization of that by Holte in the sense that (i) we take various digit sets, and (ii) we also consider negative base. Our results are : (i) eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the transition probability matrices,

Refutation of the Bayer-Diaconis-McGrath conjecture for the riffle shuffle card guessing game with feedback

open access: yes, 2018
We consider the following card guessing game with feedback, introduced in [BD92]. An initially ordered deck of cards is shuffled via one or several riffle shuffles (or more generally: one a-shuffle). The player guesses the card on top of the deck, then looks at that card. The player then guesses the next card, looks at that card etc.

The cutoff phenomenon for randomized riffle shuffles [PDF]

open access: yesRandom Structures & Algorithms, 2007
AbstractWe study the cutoff phenomenon for generalized riffle shuffles where, at each step, the deck of cards is cut into a random number of packs of multinomial sizes which are then riffled together. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct.

Riffle shuffles with biased cuts [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2012
The well-known Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds model for riffle shuffles assumes that the cards are initially cut `about in half' and then riffled together. We analyze a natural variant where the initial cut is biased. Extending results of Fulman (1998), we show a sharp cutoff in separation and L-infinity distances.

Riffle: An Efficient Communication System With Strong Anonymity

open access: yes, 2019
Existing anonymity systems sacrifice anonymity for efficient communication or vice-versa. Onion-routing achieves low latency, high bandwidth, and scalable anonymous communication, but is susceptible to traffic analysis attacks.

Mathematical investigations : restoring order through repeated riffle shuffles

open access: yes, 2021
We are all familiar with the riffle shuffle, one of the most popular ways to shuffle cards. To perform this shuffle, divide the deck into two halves, riffle them together with your thumb, interlocking them, and then push the halves ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
