چکیده

We investigate the complexity of the following computational problem: POLYNOMIAL ENTROPY APPROXIMATION (PEA): Given a low-degree polynomial mapping p : F → F, where F is a finite field, approximate the output entropy H(p(Un)), where Un is the uniform distribution on F and H may be any of several entropy measures. We show: • Approximating the Shannon entropy of degree 3 polynomials p : F2 → F2 over F2 to within an additive constant (or even n) is complete for SZKPL, the class of problems having statistical zero-knowledge proofs where the honest verifier and its simulator are computable in logarithmic space. (SZKPL contains most of the natural problems known to be in the full class SZKP.) • For prime fields F 6= F2 and homogeneous quadratic polynomials p : F → F, there is a probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm that distinguishes the case that p(Un) has entropy smaller than k from the case that p(Un) has min-entropy (or even Renyi entropy) greater than (2 + o(1))k. • For degree d polynomials p : F2 → F2 , there is a polynomial-time algorithm that distinguishes the case that p(Un) has max-entropy smaller than k (where the max-entropy of a random variable is the logarithm of its support size) from the case that p(Un) has max-entropy at least (1 + o(1)) · k (for fixed d and large k).

Canonical representation for approximating solution of fuzzy polynomial equations

In this paper, the concept of canonical representation is proposed to find fuzzy roots of fuzzy polynomial equations. We transform fuzzy polynomial equations to system of crisp polynomial equations, this transformation is perform by using canonical representation based on three parameters Value, Ambiguity and Fuzziness.

Approximating fixed points for nonexpansive mappings and generalized mixed equilibrium problems in Banach spaces

We introduce a new iterative scheme for nding a common elementof the solutions set of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the xedpoints set of an innitely countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a Banachspace setting. Strong convergence theorems of the proposed iterative scheme arealso established by the generalized projection method. Our results generalize thecorresponding results...
