Perturbatively exact supersymmetric partition functions of ABJM theory on Seifert manifolds and holography by Junho Hong

“…Abstract We undertake a comprehensive analysis of the supersymmetric partition function of the U(N) k × U(N) −k ABJM theory on a U(1) fibration over a Riemann surface, evaluating it to all orders in the 1/N-perturbative expansion up to exponentially suppressed corrections. Through holographic duality, our perturbatively exact result is successfully matched with the regularized on-shell action of a dual Euclidean AdS4-Taub-Bolt background incorporating 4-derivative corrections, and also provides valuable insights into the logarithmic corrections that emerge from the 1-loop calculations in M-theory path integrals. …”

Link quality prediction based on random forest by Linlan LIU, Shengrong GAO, Jian SHU

“…Link quality prediction is vital to the upper layer protocol design of wireless sensor networks.Selecting high quality links with the help of link quality prediction mechanisms can improve data transmission reliability and network communication efficiency.The Gaussian mixture model algorithm based on unsupervised clustering was employed to divide the link quality level.Zero-phase component analysis (ZCA) whitening was applied to remove the correlation between samples.The mean and variance of signal to noise ratio,link quality indicator,and received signal strength indicator were taken as the estimation parameters of link quality,and a link quality estimation model was constructed by using a random forest classification algorithm.The random forest regression algorithm was used to build a link quality prediction model,which predicted the link quality level at the next moment.In different scenarios,comparing with exponentially weighted moving average,triangle metric,support vector regression and linear regression prediction models,the proposed prediction model has higher prediction accuracy.…”

Trajectory differential privacy protection mechanism based on prediction and sliding window by Ayong YE, Lingyu MENG, Ziwen ZHAO, Yiqing DIAO, Jiaomei ZHANG

“…To address the issues of privacy budget and quality of service in trajectory differential privacy protection,a trajectory differential privacy mechanism integrating prediction disturbance was proposed.Firstly,Markov chain and exponential perturbation method were used to predict the location which satisfies the differential privacy and temporal and spatial security,and service similarity map was introduced to detect the availability of the location.If the prediction was successful,the prediction location was directly used to replace the location of differential disturbance,to reduce the privacy cost of continuous query and improve the quality of service.Based on this,the trajectory privacy budget allocation mechanism based on w sliding window was designed to ensure that any continuous w queries in the trajectory meet the ε-differential privacy and solve the trajectory privacy problem of continuous queries.In addition,a privacy customization strategy was designed based on the sensitivity map.By customizing the privacy sensitivity of semantic location,the privacy budget could be customized to improve its utilization.Finally,the validity of the scheme was verified by real data set experiment.The results illustrate that it offers the better privacy and quality of service.…”

Fractional derivative in continuous-time Markov processes and applications to epidemics in networks by Matteo D'Alessandro, Piet Van Mieghem

“…We show that the same state probabilities also solve a system of equations that describe semi-Markov processes in which the sojourn times follow a Mittag-Leffler distribution, contrasting the usual Markov processes with exponentially distributed sojourn times. We apply the fractional framework to the ɛ-SIS epidemic process on any contact graph and we propose a microscopic epidemic description in which infection and curing events follow a Mittag-Leffler distribution and are not independent. …”

Constitutive Model of Recycled Aggregate Concrete for Channels Affected by Freeze-Thaw Damage by FENG Hongchun, XU Chengjian, YUE Kedong, YANG Tong

“…The stress-strain constitutive relationship is an important research content of concrete materials.To reveal the mechanical damage law of recycled aggregate concrete under the effect of freeze-thaw cycles,this study builds a statistical model of mesoscopic damage to concrete on the basis of Weibull strength theory and compression experiment results of concrete.The results show that the damage to concrete under the uniaxial load is more significant under the action of the freeze-thaw cycle.As the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases from 0 to 120,the compressive strength and elastic modulus decrease exponentially,and the failure strain shows an upward trend.The Weibull strength theory is employed to construct the constitutive model of concrete damage considering the influences of freeze-thaw cycles,and by fitting,the shape parameter m and the scale parameter ε₀ are solved.In addition,the number of freeze-thaw cycles T is introduced to this model.The comparison of the measured stress-strain curve with the fitted results of the model verifies the rationality of the theoretical model.…”

Security analysis of public-key cryptosystems based on matrix action problem against quantum attack by Huawei HUANG

“…As a generalization of the discrete logarithm problem, semigroup action problem has important applications in the design of public-key cryptography.Public-key cryptosystems based on action problem of integer matrix semigroups on the direct product of commutative groups were analyzed.The matrix was regarded as the exponent of direct product elements, and this class of matrix action had the exponential rules similar to group.It was proved that if the matrix action was injective or the number of generators of the hidden subgroup was less than or equal to the square of the order of the matrix, the matrix action problem could be reduced in polynomial time to the hidden subgroup problem of the direct sum of the additive group of the matrices.And it was proved that commutative matrix action problem could also be reduced to hidden subgroup problem of the direct sum of the additive group of the matrices in polynomial time.The cryptosystems based on this class of matrix action problem cannot against quantum attacks.This conclusion has theoretical significance in the design of public-key cryptography against quantum attacks.…”

“…For the static error about dimensions error and geometric parameters error of reconfigurable robot caused by the design and manufacture of modules and its configuration change,the static geometric parameters error of reconfigurable robot is treated as the structural error and transmission error of the joint,and is assumed to be the result of tiny screw motion,then an kinematic error model of robotic is built by using the products of exponentials formula. Based on the relationship between input error and output error of reconfigurable robot,an error sensitivity coefficient model is established. …”
