ÐA nonlinear filter generator is a basic keystream generator for stream cipher applications consisting of a single linear feedback shift register whose output is filtered by a nonlinear combining function. A binary nonlinear filter generator is viewed as a finite input memory automaton with one binary input and one binary output. The generalized inversion attack on a binary nonlinear filter gen...

Based on existing teaching conditions and actual needs, a virtual teaching experiment platform for a signal generator has been developed using LabVIEW. The platform realises a simpler function signal generator and a chaotic signal generator that are easy to operate by using virtual technology, which provides students with some simulation experiments without a physical laboratory. Compared with ...

This paper illustrates how a generator profit may be affected by the pricing method of an oligopoly market model. Through utilizing a bilevel optimization technique and game theory concepts, Supply Function Equilibria (SFE) of pay-as-bid pricing (PABP) and marginal pricing (MP) mechanisms are derived. Theoretically, it is demonstrated that in the presence of strategic interaction, the generator...

We consider the problem of constructing explicit Hitting sets for Combinatorial Shapes, a class of statistical tests first studied by Gopalan, Meka, Reingold, and Zuckerman (STOC 2011). These generalize many well-studied classes of tests, including symmetric functions and combinatorial rectangles. Generalizing results of Linial, Luby, Saks, and Zuckerman (Combinatorica 1997) and Rabani and Shpi...

The classical occupancy problem where n balls are placed in N cells is used for testing of random number generators. We show that the statistics of appropriately chosen occupancy numbers are incompatible with the statistics of many pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) even if they are truncated. More than that, the incompatibility shows up on relatively small samples long before the period of...

Response patterns resulting from repetitive mechanical stimulation of the corpuscle depend on (1) the time course of recovery of the generator potential, on (2) the recovery of critical firing height, and on (3) the stimulus strength/generator potential function. By either augmenting stimulus frequency at constant strength, or by reducing strength at constant frequency, a sequence of propagated...
