Strongly multiplicative linear secret sharing schemes (LSSS) have been a powerful tool for constructing secure multi-party computation protocols. However, it remains open whether or not there exist efficient constructions of strongly multiplicative LSSS from general LSSS. In this paper, we propose the new concept of a 3-multiplicative LSSS, and establish its relationship with strongly multiplic...

Motivated by various applications from Internet congestion control to power control in smart grids and electric vehicle charging, we study Generalized Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (G-AIMD) dynamics under impulsive control in continuous time with the time average alpha-fairness criterion. We first show that the control under relaxed constraints can be described by a threshold. Then,...

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology introduces speckle, an insidious form of multiplicative noise which degrades the quality of OCT images. In this paper order statistics filters like Mean, Median, Min, Max and Alpha Trimmed Mean are implemented on digital image and OCT images. The images were tested with two different mask sizes of 5*5 and 7*7. The objective evaluation of both the ty...

The aim of this work is to provide the first strong convergence result numerical approximation a general time-fractional second order stochastic partial differential equation involving Caputo derivative in time $\alpha\in(\frac 12; 1)$ and driven simultaneously by multiplicative standard Brownian motion additive fBm with Hurst parameter $H\in(\frac 12, 1)$, more realistic model random effects o...

A numerical approach for the approximation of inertial manifolds of stochastic evolutionary equations with multiplicative noise is presented and illustrated. After splitting the stochastic evolutionary equations into a backward and a forward part, a numerical scheme is devised for solving this backward-forward stochastic system, and an ensemble of graphs representing the inertial manifold is co...

This work is concerned with existence of weak solutions to discontinuous stochastic differential equations driven by multiplicative Gaussian noise and sliding mode control dynamics generated by stochastic differential equations with variable structure, that is with jump nonlinearity. The treatment covers the finite dimensional stochastic systems and the stochastic diffusion equation with multip...

Definition 1.1. Given a ring R, a genus with values in R is a ring homomorphism, Ω ⊗Q→ R, where Ω is the G-bordism ring. For example, the Â-genus and L-genus are ring maps from Ω⊗Q→ Q. The Atiyah-Singer theorem shows that  can be refined to a genus Ω⊗Q→ Z. The L-genus (or signature) is defined on Ω⊗Q, and the Todd genus is defined on the complex cobordism category. We can define genera via mul...
