Cryptographic embedded systems are vulnerable to Differential Power Analysis (DPA). In particular, the S-boxes of a block cipher are known to be the most sensitive parts with respect to this very kind of attack. While many sound countermeasures have been proposed to withstand this weakness, most of them are too costly to be adopted in real-life implementations of cryptographic algorithms. In th...

First order reliability method (FORM) for the computation of reliability index has been used widely because of its advantages of the efficiency and effectiveness as well simplicity for many years. There exists the phenomenon of convergent failure in the FORM in calculating the reliability index iteratively for some limit state functions, for which the essential factor is investigated using chao...

in this paper, we present a new iterative method with order of convergence eighth for solving nonlinear equations. periteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. a general error analysis providing the eighth order of convergence is given. several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new ...

In this paper we propose a relatively new semi-analytical technique to approximate the solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs). We present some results concerning to the uniqueness of solution of nonlinear multi-order FDEs and discuss the existence of solution for nonlinear multi-order FDEs in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). We further give an error a...

In this paper, we develop a new discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method for solving time dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) with higher order spatial derivatives. Unlike the traditional local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method, the method in this paper can be applied without introducing any auxiliary variables or rewriting the original equation into a larger system. Stab...

In this paper, we propose a reliability–mechanical study combination for treating the metal forming process. This combination is based on the augmented Lagrangian method for solving the deterministic case and the response surface method. Our goal is the computation of the failure probability of the frictionless contact problem. Normally, contact problems in mechanics are particularly complex an...

ADER schemes are numerical methods, which can reach an arbitrary order of accuracy in both space and time. They are based on a reconstruction procedure and the solution of generalized Riemann problems. However, for general boundary conditions, in particular of Dirichlet type, a lack of accuracy might occur if a suitable treatment of boundaries conditions is not properly carried out. In this wor...
