Traditional methods of user authentication in distributed systems suuer from an important weakness which is due to the low degree of randomness in secrets that human beings can use for identiication. Even though weak secrets (passwords and PINs) are typically not exposed in the clear over the communication lines, they can be discovered with oo-line brute force attacks based on exhaustive trials...

begin{abstract} in this paper, we prove some strong and weak convergence of three step random iterative scheme with errors to common random fixed points of three asymptotically nonexpansive nonself random mappings in a real uniformly convex separable banach space. end{abstract}

in this paper, we introduce a one-step iterative scheme for finding a common fixed point of a finite family of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a real uniformly convex banach space. we establish weak and strong convergence theorems of the propose iterative scheme under some appropriate conditions.

Generalised halfspace depth function is proposed. Basic properties of this depth function including the strong consistency are studied. We show, on several examples that our depth function may be considered to be more appropriate for nonsymetric distributions or for mixtures of distributions.

For any simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a defensive alliance is a subset $S$ of $V$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $vin S$ has at most one more neighbour in $V-S$ than it has in $S$. The minimum cardinality of any defensive alliance in $G$ is called the alliance number of $G$, denoted $a(G)$. In this paper, we introduce a new type of alliance number called $k$-strong alliance numb...

we prove that the limit of a sequence of pettis integrable bounded scalarly measurable weak random elements, of finite weak norm, with values in the dual of a non-separable banach space is pettis integrable. then we provide basic properties for the pettis conditional expectation, and prove that it is continuous. calculus of pettis conditional expectations in general is very different from the c...

considering the increasing interest in fuzzy theory and possible applications,the concept of fuzzy metric space concept has been introduced by severalauthors from different perspectives. this paper interprets the theory in termsof metrics evaluated on fuzzy numbers and defines a strong hausdorff topology.we study interrelationships between this theory and other fuzzy theories suchas intuitionis...

The paper deals with the best unbiased estimators of the blocked compound symmetric covariance structure for m−variate observations over u sites under the assumption of multivariate normality. The free-coordinate approach is used to prove that the quadratic estimation of covariance parameters is equivalent to linear estimation with a properly defined inner product in the space of symmetric matr...
