On the use of loss functions in the changepoint problem

Summary We consider a sequence of independent random variables whose densities depend on a parameter which is subject to a change at an unknown time point. A Bayesian decision-theoretic approach is used to obtain an optimal choice of changepoint. The exponential and multivariate normal models are analyzed, and some numerical examples are given.     

Single-channel color image encryption using phase retrieve algorithm in fractional Fourier domain

A single-channel color image encryption is proposed based on a phase retrieve algorithm and a two-coupled logistic map. Firstly, a gray scale image is constituted with three channels of the color image, and then permuted by a sequence of chaotic pairs generated by the two-coupled logistic map. Secondly, the permutation image is decomposed into three new components, where each component is encoded into a phase-only function in the fractional Fourier domain with a phase retrieve algorithm that is proposed based on the iterative fractional Fourier transform. Finally, an interim image is formed by the combination of these phase-only functions and encrypted into the final gray scale ciphertext with stationary white noise distribution by using chaotic diffusion, which has camouflage property to some extent. In the process of encryption and decryption, chaotic permutation and diffusion makes the resultant image nonlinear and disorder both in spatial domain and frequency domain, and the proposed phase iterative algorithm has faster convergent speed. Additionally, the encryption scheme enlarges the key space of the cryptosystem. Simulation results and security analysis verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.     

Specifications of dust-ion-acoustic shock waves affected by dust charge variation in four-component dissipative quantum plasma

ABSTRACT

Nonlinear propagation of dust-ion-acoustic shock waves in an unmagnetized, collisionless four-component quantum plasma containing electrons, positrons, ions and negatively charged dust grains affected by dust charge variations and viscosity of ions is studied using quantum hydrodynamic model. Considering dust charge variation give rise to calculating of charging currents of the plasma particles. These currents have been calculated with orbit limited motion theory and using Fermi-distribution functions or Boltzmann–Maxwell distribution depending on quantum or classical particles, respectively. The basic characteristics of quantum dust-ion-acoustic shock waves are investigated by deriving Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation under the reductive perturbation method. Depending on the relative values of the dispersive and dissipative coefficients, oscillatory and monotonic shock waves can propagate in the plasma model. The effect of chemical potential and density of dust particles on the shock wave’s height and thickness is investigated. In addition, the critical value of H (H_c) is calculated and it is shown that for R?>?0 compressive shock waves and for R?<?0 rarefactive ones can exist. The present study is applicable to researchers on quantum nonlinear structures in dense astrophysical objects and ultra-small micro- and nano-electronic devices.

Hilbert Functions, Residual Intersections, and Residually S2 Ideals

Let R be a homogeneous ring over an infinite field, IR a homogeneous ideal, and I an ideal generated by s forms of degrees d ₁,...,d _s so that codim( :I)s. We give broad conditions for when the Hilbert function of R/ or of R/( :I) is determined by I and the degrees d ₁,...,d _s . These conditions are expressed in terms of residual intersections of I, culminating in the notion of residually S ₂ ideals. We prove that the residually S ₂ property is implied by the vanishing of certain Ext modules and deduce that generic projections tend to produce ideals with this property.     

Upper and Lower Bounds on Maximum Nonlinearity of n-input m-output Boolean Function

The paper presents lower and upper bounds on the maximumnonlinearity for an n-input m-output Booleanfunction. We show a systematic construction method for a highlynonlinear Boolean function based on binary linear codes whichcontain the first order Reed-Muller code as a subcode. We alsopresent a method to prove the nonexistence of some nonlinearBoolean functions by using nonexistence results on binary linearcodes. Such construction and nonexistence results can be regardedas lower and upper bounds on the maximum nonlinearity. For somen and m, these bounds are tighter than theconventional bounds. The techniques employed here indicate astrong connection between binary linear codes and nonlinear n-input m-output Boolean functions.     

A Measure of Simultaneous Approximation for Quasi-Modular Functions

We improve on a recent result of Saradha giving a transcendence measure for the quotient of a period of an elliptic curve defined over by its associated quasi-period. In an (almost successful) attempt to include in a single measure both this result and that obtained by Reyssat in 1980, we blend into the modular method ideas related to modular but also hypergeometric functions, as appearing e.g. in André's work, as well as some Galois considerations.     

Nonlinear elliptic differential equations with multivalued nonlinearities

In this paper we study nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems with monotone and nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearities. First we consider the case of monotone nonlinearities. In the first result we assume that the multivalued nonlinearity is defined on all ℝ. Assuming the existence of an upper and of a lower solution, we prove the existence of a solution between them. Also for a special version of the problem, we prove the existence of extremal solutions in the order interval formed by the upper and lower solutions. Then we drop the requirement that the monotone nonlinearity is defined on all of ℝ. This case is important because it covers variational inequalities. Using the theory of operators of monotone type we show that the problem has a solution. Finally in the last part we consider an eigenvalue problem with a nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearity. Using the critical point theory for nonsmooth locally Lipschitz functionals we prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions (multiplicity theorem).     

Gate-controlled low-bias rectifying behaviors in BDC60 molecule

Using first-principles density functional theory and non-equilibrium Greenʼs function formalism for quantum transport calculation, we have investigated the effect of gate voltage on the electronic transport properties of BDC60-based molecular junction. The results show that the transport properties are strongly modulated by the applied gate voltage, and the current–voltage curve displays an obvious rectifying behavior at much low bias region. The mechanism for the rectifying behavior is analyzed by the bias-dependent transmission spectrum, projected density of states, spatial distribution of molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian orbitals and voltage drop over the junction.
