We propose a unifying framework for polyhedral approximation in convex optimization. It subsumes classical methods, such as cutting plane and simplicial decomposition, but also includes new methods and new versions/extensions of old methods, such as a simplicial decomposition method for nondifferentiable optimization and a new piecewise linear approximation method for convex single commodity ne...

In 2007 PKC conference, Ding, et al use the second order linearization equation attack method to break what be called MFE multivariate public key encryption scheme, and also proposed a high order linearization equation attack on multivariate public key cryptosystems. To resist high order linearization equation attack, we present an enhanced MFE encryption scheme in this article. The improved sc...

This paper investigates modelling of NTC thermistors using Steinhart-Hart equation for generic model generation and then parsing the same through the linearization algorithm based on Levenberg–Marquart back propagation technique with sigmoid activation function. The entire modelling and scripting of the linearization algorithm has been accomplished in the MATLAB paradigm. The results showcase s...
