Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocols, which allow the client to obtain data from servers without revealing its request, have many applications such as anonymous communication, media streaming, blockchain security, advertisement, etc. Multi-server PIR protocols, where the database is replicated among the non-colluding servers, provide high efficiency in the information-theoretic setting. Beimel et al. in CCC 12’ (further referred to as BIKO) put forward a paradigm for constructing multi-server PIR, capturing several previous constructions for servers, as well as improving the best-known share complexity for 3-server PIR. A key component there is a share conversion scheme from corresponding linear three-party secret sharing schemes with respect to a certain type of “modified universal” relation. In a useful particular instantiation of the paradigm, they used a share conversion from -CNF over to three-additive sharing over for primes where and , and the relation is modified universal relation . They reduced the question of the existence of the share conversion for a triple to the (in)solvability of a certain linear system over , and provided an efficient (in ) construction of such a sharing scheme. Unfortunately, the size of the system is which entails the infeasibility of a direct solution for big m’s in practice. Paskin-Cherniavsky and Schmerler in 2019 proved the existence of the conversion for the case of odd , when , obtaining in this way infinitely many parameters for which the conversion exists, but also for infinitely many of them it remained open. In this work, using some algebraic techniques from the work of Paskin-Cherniavsky and Schmerler, we prove the existence of the conversion for even m’s in case (we computed in this case) and the absence of the conversion for even m’s in case . This does not improve the concrete efficiency of 3-server PIR; however, our result is promising in a broader context of constructing PIR through composition techniques with servers, using the relation where m has more than two prime divisors. Another our suggestion about 3-server PIR is that it’s possible to achieve a shorter server’s response using the relation for extended . By computer search, in BIKO framework we found several such sets for small m’s which result in share conversion from -CNF over to 3-additive secret sharing over , where is several times less than , which implies several times shorter server’s response. We also suggest that such extended sets can result in better PIR due to the potential existence of matching vector families with the higher Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension. 相似文献

This study deals with drift parameters estimation problems in the sub-fractional Vasicek process given by , with , being unknown and ; here, represents a sub-fractional Brownian motion (sfBm). We introduce new estimators for and for based on discrete time observations and use techniques from Nordin–Peccati analysis. For the proposed estimators and , strong consistency and the asymptotic normality were established by employing the properties of . Moreover, we provide numerical simulations for sfBm and related Vasicek-type process with different values of the Hurst index H. 相似文献

Both cases when is divisible by d and not divisible by d are discussed. We give two examples of maximally entangled bases in , which are mutually unbiased bases. Finally, we found a new example of an unextendible maximally entangled basis (UMEB) in . 相似文献

Based on Kedem–Katchalsky formalism, the model equation of the membrane potential () generated in a membrane system was derived for the conditions of concentration polarization. In this system, a horizontally oriented electro-neutral biomembrane separates solutions of the same electrolytes at different concentrations. The consequence of concentration polarization is the creation, on both sides of the membrane, of concentration boundary layers. The basic equation of this model includes the unknown ratio of solution concentrations ( at the membrane/concentration boundary layers. We present the calculation procedure ( based on novel equations derived in the paper containing the transport parameters of the membrane (, , and ), solutions (, ), concentration boundary layer thicknesses (, ), concentration Raileigh number (), concentration polarization factor (), volume flux (), mechanical pressure difference (), and ratio of known solution concentrations (). From the resulting equation, was calculated for various combinations of the solution concentration ratio (), the Rayleigh concentration number (), the concentration polarization coefficient (), and the hydrostatic pressure difference ). Calculations were performed for a case where an aqueous NaCl solution with a fixed concentration of 1 mol m−3 () was on one side of the membrane and on the other side an aqueous NaCl solution with a concentration between 1 and 15 mol m−3 (). It is shown that () depends on the value of one of the factors (i.e., , , and ) at a fixed value of the other three. 相似文献

We study the viable Starobinsky dark energy model in spatially non-flat FLRW backgrounds, where with and representing the characteristic curvature scale and model parameter, respectively. We modify CAMB and CosmoMC packages with the recent observational data to constrain Starobinsky gravity and the density parameter of curvature . In particular, we find the model and density parameters to be at 68% C.L. and at 95% C.L., respectively. The best fitting result shows that , indicating that the viable gravity model is consistent with CDM when is set as a free parameter. We also evaluate the values of AIC, BIC and DIC for the best fitting results of and CDM models in the non-flat universe. 相似文献

Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) has become a standard method to quantify the correlations and scaling properties of real-world complex time series. For a given scale ℓ of observation, DFA provides the function , which quantifies the fluctuations of the time series around the local trend, which is substracted (detrended). If the time series exhibits scaling properties, then asymptotically, and the scaling exponent is typically estimated as the slope of a linear fitting in the vs. plot. In this way, measures the strength of the correlations and characterizes the underlying dynamical system. However, in many cases, and especially in a physiological time series, the scaling behavior is different at short and long scales, resulting in vs. plots with two different slopes, at short scales and at large scales of observation. These two exponents are usually associated with the existence of different mechanisms that work at distinct time scales acting on the underlying dynamical system. Here, however, and since the power-law behavior of is asymptotic, we question the use of to characterize the correlations at short scales. To this end, we show first that, even for artificial time series with perfect scaling, i.e., with a single exponent valid for all scales, DFA provides an value that systematically overestimates the true exponent . In addition, second, when artificial time series with two different scaling exponents at short and large scales are considered, the value provided by DFA not only can severely underestimate or overestimate the true short-scale exponent, but also depends on the value of the large scale exponent. This behavior should prevent the use of to describe the scaling properties at short scales: if DFA is used in two time series with the same scaling behavior at short scales but very different scaling properties at large scales, very different values of will be obtained, although the short scale properties are identical. These artifacts may lead to wrong interpretations when analyzing real-world time series: on the one hand, for time series with truly perfect scaling, the spurious value of could lead to wrongly thinking that there exists some specific mechanism acting only at short time scales in the dynamical system. On the other hand, for time series with true different scaling at short and large scales, the incorrect value would not characterize properly the short scale behavior of the dynamical system. 相似文献

Recently, Savaré-Toscani proved that the Rényi entropy power of general probability densities solving the p-nonlinear heat equation in is a concave function of time under certain conditions of three parameters , which extends Costa’s concavity inequality for Shannon’s entropy power to the Rényi entropy power. In this paper, we give a condition of under which the concavity of the Rényi entropy power is valid. The condition contains Savaré-Toscani’s condition as a special case and much more cases. Precisely, the points satisfying Savaré-Toscani’s condition consist of a two-dimensional subset of , and the points satisfying the condition consist a three-dimensional subset of . Furthermore, gives the necessary and sufficient condition in a certain sense. Finally, the conditions are obtained with a systematic approach. 相似文献

A possible detection of sub-solar mass ultra-compact objects would lead to new perspectives on the existence of black holes that are not of astrophysical origin and/or pertain to formation scenarios of exotic ultra-compact objects. Both possibilities open new perspectives for better understanding of our universe. In this work, we investigate the significance of detection of sub-solar mass binaries with components mass in the range: up to 1, within the expected sensitivity of the ground-based gravitational waves detectors of third generation, viz., the Einstein Telescope (ET) and the Cosmic Explorer (CE). Assuming a minimum of amplitude signal-to-noise ratio for detection, viz., , we find that the maximum horizon distances for an ultra-compact binary system with components mass and 1 are 40 Mpc and 1.89 Gpc, respectively, for ET, and 125 Mpc and 5.8 Gpc, respectively, for CE. Other cases are also presented in the text. We derive the merger rate and discuss consequences on the abundances of primordial black hole (PBH), . Considering the entire mass range [–1], we find (<) for ET (CE), respectively. 相似文献

In this work, a finite element (FE) method is discussed for the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations by using the finite element pair . The method consists of transmitting the finite element solution of the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations into the finite element solution pairs based on the finite element space pair of the 3D steady linearized Navier–Stokes equations by using the Stokes, Newton and Oseen iterative methods, where the finite element space pair satisfies the discrete inf-sup condition in a 3D domain . Here, we present the weak formulations of the FE method for solving the 3D steady Stokes, Newton and Oseen iterative equations, provide the existence and uniqueness of the FE solution of the 3D steady Stokes, Newton and Oseen iterative equations, and deduce the convergence with respect to of the FE solution to the exact solution of the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations in the norm. Finally, we also give the convergence order with respect to of the FE velocity to the exact velocity u of the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations in the norm. 相似文献

Two-dimensional fuzzy entropy, dispersion entropy, and their multiscale extensions ( and , respectively) have shown promising results for image classifications. However, these results rely on the selection of key parameters that may largely influence the entropy values obtained. Yet, the optimal choice for these parameters has not been studied thoroughly. We propose a study on the impact of these parameters in image classification. For this purpose, the entropy-based algorithms are applied to a variety of images from different datasets, each containing multiple image classes. Several parameter combinations are used to obtain the entropy values. These entropy values are then applied to a range of machine learning classifiers and the algorithm parameters are analyzed based on the classification results. By using specific parameters, we show that both and approach state-of-the-art in terms of image classification for multiple image types. They lead to an average maximum accuracy of more than 95% for all the datasets tested. Moreover, results in a better classification performance than that extracted by as a majority. Furthermore, the choice of classifier does not have a significant impact on the classification of the extracted features by both entropy algorithms. The results open new perspectives for these entropy-based measures in textural analysis. 相似文献

We study the steady-state thermodynamics of a cascaded collision model where two subsystems and collide successively with an environment R in the cascaded fashion. We first formulate general expressions of thermodynamics quantities and identify the nonlocal forms of work and heat that result from cascaded interactions of the system with the common environment. Focusing on a concrete system of two qubits, we then show that, to be able to unidirectionally influence the thermodynamics of , the former interaction of should not be energy conserving. We finally demonstrate that the steady-state coherence generated in the cascaded model is a kind of useful resource in extracting work, quantified by ergotropy, from the system. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding on the thermodynamics of the cascaded model and a possible way to achieve the unidirectional control on the thermodynamics process in the steady-state regime. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to show that -limit sets in Lorenz maps do not have to be completely invariant. This highlights unexpected dynamical behavior in these maps, showing gaps existing in the literature. Similar result is obtained for unimodal maps on . On the basis of provided examples, we also present how the performed study on the structure of -limit sets is closely connected with the calculation of the topological entropy. 相似文献

Studies from complex networks have increased in recent years, and different applications have been utilized in geophysics. Seismicity represents a complex and dynamic system that has open questions related to earthquake occurrence. In this work, we carry out an analysis to understand the physical interpretation of two metrics of complex systems: the slope of the probability distribution of connectivity () and the betweenness centrality (BC). To conduct this study, we use seismic datasets recorded from three large earthquakes that occurred in Chile: the 8.2 Iquique earthquake (2014), the 8.4 Illapel earthquake (2015) and the 8.8 Cauquenes earthquake (2010). We find a linear relationship between the value and the value, with an interesting finding about the ratio between the value and that gives a value of ∼0.4. We also explore a possible physical meaning of the BC. As a first result, we find that the behaviour of this metric is not the same for the three large earthquakes, and it seems that this metric is not related to the value and coupling of the zone. We present the first results about the physical meaning of metrics from complex networks in seismicity. These first results are promising, and we hope to be able to carry out further analyses to understand the physics that these complex network parameters represent in a seismic system. 相似文献
