An (n, m, k)-resilient function is a function f : F2 → F2 such that every possible output m-tuple is equally likely to occur when the values of k arbitrary inputs are fixed by an adversary and the remaining n − k input bits are chosen independently at random. In this paper we propose a new method to generate a (n + D + 1, m, d − 1)-resilient function for any non-negative integer D whenever a [n...

We consider the problem of sorting a sequence of n keys in a RAM-like environment where memory faults are possible. An algorithm is said to be δ-resilient if it can tolerate up to δ memory faults during its execution. A resilient sorting algorithm must produce a sequence where every pair of uncorrupted keys is ordered correctly. Finocchi, Grandoni, and Italiano devised a δ-resilient determinist...

Let σ be a permutation on [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n} which can be written in two-line notation, and let φ : [n] → S be a bijection. Construct τ (resp. β) by replacing the elements in σ as dictated by φ and then deleting up to d elements in the top (resp. bottom) line and contracting the result, making sure no symbol is deleted in both lines. The permutation σ is d-resilient if τ and β always uniqu...

Salmon are inherently resilient species. However, this resiliency has been undermined in British Columbia by a century of centralized, command-and-control management focused initially on maximizing yield and, more recently, on economic efficiency. Community and cultural resiliency have also been undermined, especially by the recent emphasis on economic efficiency, which has concentrated access ...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of obtaining new construction methods for resilient Boolean functions. Given n (n odd and n ≥ 35), we firstly provide degree optimized 1-resilient n-variable functions with currently best known nonlinearity. Then we extend our method to obtain m-resilient (m > 1) Boolean functions with degree n − m − 1, we show that these Boolean functions also achieve ...

A supply network structure design, that is resilient to any adverse, fast changing, or unexpected conditions, serves as a catalyst to propel a business forward while competition sits still. Complex systems theory provides an approach to capture the evolution of supply chains over times, where companies co-evolve with their suppliers, customers and competitors to adapt to changing business envir...

Peer-to-peer systems are positioned to take advantage of gains in network bandwidth, storage capacity, and computational resources to provide long-term durable storage infrastructures. In this paper, we quantitatively compare building a distributed storage infrastructure that is self-repairing and resilient to faults using either a replicated system or an erasure-resilient system. We show that ...

Abstract. This work address the general problem of resilient control of unknown stochastic linear time-invariant (LTI) systems in the presence of sensor attacks. Motivated by a vehicle cruise control application, this work considers a first order system with multiple measurements, of which a bounded subset may be corrupted. A frequency-domain-designed resilient adaptive controller is introduced...

Various approaches have been used for the retention and stabilization of implant-supported overdentures. This study examined photoelastically the simulated load transfer characteristics of a resilient cap attachment with moderately atrophied mandibular plastic models with two implant orientations. Comparison was made with overdentures supported by a splinting bar and a bar with distal resilient...
