Witness encryption is a cryptographic primitive which encrypts a message under an instance of an NP language and decrypts the ciphertext using a witness associated with that instance. In the current state of the art, most of the witness encryption construc ...
In an open, bounded subset Omega of R-N such that 0 is an element of Omega we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem -Sigma(N)(i,j,=1) partial derivative(i){A(ij)(x)partial derivative(j)u} + V(x)u + n(x,del u)+ g(x, u) = lambda u in Omega integral(Omega ...
Let k be a field of positive characteristic. Building on the work of the second named author, we define a new class of k-algebras, called diagonally F-regular algebras, for which the so-called Uniform. Symbolic Topology Property (USTP) holds effectively. W ...
Ultrasound (US) imaging is currently living a revolution. On the one hand, ultrafast US imaging, a novel way of acquiring and producing US images, has paved the way to several advanced imaging modes, e.g. shear-wave elastography, ultrafast Doppler imaging ...
We propose a noise robust two-step phase shifting algorithm for the evaluation of random and unknown phase step. In this algorithm, the phase within a small size two-dimensional window around a user selected pixel in an interferogram is approximated as a q ...
In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer n≥3, we define e(n) to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...
The well-known "necklace splitting theorem" of Alon (1987) asserts that every k-colored necklace can be fairly split into q parts using at most t cuts, provided k(q - 1)
Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2, and let f is an element of k[X] be an irreducible polynomial. We show that a non-degenerate quadratic space has an isometry with minimal polynomial f if and only if such an isometry exists over all the compl ...
This monograph contains a study of the global Cauchy problem for the Yang-Mills equations on (6+1) and higher dimensional Minkowski space, when the initial data sets are small in the critical gauge covariant Sobolev space. (H) over dot(A)((n-4)/2). Regular ...
In this paper Monte Carlo finite element approximations for elliptic homogenization problems with random coefficients, which oscillate on n is an element of N a priori known, separated microscopic length scales, are considered. The convergence of multileve ...
A new approach for computationally efficient estimation of stability factors for parametric partial differential equations is presented. The general parametric bilinear form of the problem is approximated by two affinely parametrized bilinear forms at diff ...
A flow composed of two populations of pedestrians moving in different directions is modeled by a two-dimensional system of convection-diffusion equations. An efficient simulation of the two-dimensional model is obtained by a finite-volume scheme combined w ...
Reduced basis approximations for geometrically parametrized advection- diffusion equations are investigated. The parametric domains are assumed to be images of a reference domain through a piecewise polynomial map; this may lead to nonaffinely parametrized ...
In previous work, we defined the category of functors F-quad, associated to F-2-vector spaces equipped with a nondegenerate quadratic form. In this paper, we define a special family of objects in the category F-quad, named the mixed functors. We give the c ...
