Last week’s installment on columnar transposition ciphers described a formula for the underlying permutation for a CTC. If we assume that the number of columns being used divides the length of the ...
Abstract: It is known that, when n is even, the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} all of whose cycles have odd length equals the number of those all of whose cycles have even length. Adin, Hegedüs ...
