چکیده

Parameter identification problems are formulated in a probabilistic language, where the randomness reflects the uncertainty about the knowledge of the true values. This setting allows conceptually easily to incorporate new information, e.g. through a measurement, by connecting it to Bayes’s theorem. The unknown quantity is modelled as a (may be high-dimensional) random variable. Such a description has two constituents, the measurable function and the measure. One group of methods is identified as updating the measure, the other group changes the measurable function. We connect both groups with the relatively recent methods of functional approximation of stochastic problems, and introduce especially in combination with the second group of methods a new procedure which does not need any sampling, hence works completely deterministically. It also seems to be the fastest and more reliable when compared with other methods. We show by example that it also works for highly nonlinear non-smooth problems with non-Gaussian measures.

Probabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems

Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...

Cryptanalysis of the the Polynomial Reconstruction Based Public-Key Cryptosystem of Eurocrypt’03 in the Optimal Parameter Setting

In Eurocrypt 2003, Augot and Finiasz presented a novel Public-key Cryptosystem based on the Polynomial Reconstruction Problem. While there is no immediate way to use coding theoretic techniques to break their system, it has been subsequently broken by Coron who presented a ciphertext-only attack (based on a worst case analysis). In the present work we study the optimal parameter setting of thei...

A Multi-Period 1-Center Location Problem in the Presence of a Probabilistic Line Barrier

This paper investigates a multi-period rectilinear distance 1-center location problem considering a line-shaped barrier, in which the starting point of the barrier follows the uniform distribution function. In addition, the existing points are sensitive to demands and locations. The purpose of the presented model is to minimize the maximum barrier distance from the new facility to the existing ...
