An Information-Based Classification of Elementary Cellular Automata by Enrico Borriello, Sara Imari Walker

“…The classification scheme proposed circumvents the problems associated with isolating whether complexity is in fact intrinsic to a dynamical rule, or if it arises merely as a product of a complex initial state. Transfer entropy variations processed by cellular automata split the 256 elementary rules into three information classes, based on sensitivity to initial conditions. …”

Surface sliding mode controller for chaotic oscillation in power system with power disturbance by Fuhong MIN, Hanyuan MA, Yaoda WANG

“…With the rapid development of the power industry,the possibility of chaotic oscillation increases in the power system,and the importance of maintaining the stability of the power system is prominent.Through a fourth-order power system model with power perturbation term built,the Lyapunov exponent spectrum,bifurcation diagram and spectral entropy were analyzed,respectively.The influence of power disturbance terms on power system motion was discussed in detail.Moreover,a dynamic surface sliding mode controller was designed based on the switching function with relay characteristics.Simulation results show that the controller can suppress the chaotic oscillation quickly and smoothly,and effectively avoid chattering and own strong robustness.…”

Research on protection technology for location privacy in VANET by Jian-ming ZHANG, Yu-juan ZHAO, Hao-bin JIANG, Xue-dan JIA, Liang-min WANG

“…Location-based services in VANET solved the problem of road safety,and provided the convenient services to drivers and passengers.But it also brought new problems of privacy protection.The content of privacy protection was analyzed,and put emphasis on two kinds of privacy protection technology based on pseudonyms and signature respectively.Pseudonym-based schemes were classified as special-area based,silence-period,cryptographic mix-zones and mix-zones communication proxy based schemes.Signature-based schemes were also divided into two classes:group-signature and ring-signature.The evaluation methods for privacy protection level were surveyed,in which anonymity set,entropy metric,mathematical analysis theory and formal analysis were discussed and compared.…”

Conflict evidence combination method based on clustering weighting by Yu DONG, Youpeng ZHANG

“…Aiming at the failure of the combination of highly conflicting evidence, the combination of the relationship between evidences and the characteristics of evidence itself was considered, and a method of conflicting evidence combination based on clustering weighting was proposed.Firstly, the similarity coefficient was constructed to cluster the evidence, and the inter-class weight was determined by class capacity to reflect the differences among classes.Then the information entropy was used to obtain the intra-class weight of each evidence.The modified weight of the evidence was obtained by combining the inter-class weight and intra-class weight.Finally, the conflict evidence was modified according to the weight, and the combination rule of evidence theory was used to achieve the final synthesis of the modified evidence.The results of the example show that the proposed method can reasonably carry out evidence correction, and the combined results have better focusing effect than other methods.…”

Bandwidth allocation games based on network selection for video communication by Shu-zhi WEI, Qi ZHU

“…A bandwidth allocation game based on network selection (BAG-NS) was proposed for video communication in heterogeneous wireless networks.Firstly,according to the video characteristics of different users and current network conditions,the algorithm calculated the weights of network factors and selected the optimum network by combining analytic hierarchy process and entropy theory.Secondly,the user’s utility function with payoff and cost was designed,and a distributed iterative algorithm is used to obtain the Nash equilibrium.Then the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium are proved.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm enables different users to reasonably distribute in different networks and takes users’ fairness and network congestion control into consideration,which increases the utilization of network resources,reduces the users’ video distortion,and improves the users’ video quality.…”
