The document discusses using linked lists to represent polynomial expressions and solve the Josephus problem. Polynomial expressions can be represented using linked lists by defining the coefficients and exponents as node data. Two polynomials can be added by traversing the lists and summing coefficients with matching exponents. The Josephus problem involves people in a circle killing the next person until one remains. It can be solved using a circular linked list by deleting every mth node until one node is left, which is the survivor.
