Projecting bilinear pairings have frequently been used for designing cryptosystems since they were first derived from composite order bilinear groups. There have been only a few studies on the (im)possibility of projecting bilinear pairings. Groth and Sahai showed that projecting bilinear pairings can be achieved in the prime-order group setting. They constructed both projecting asymmetric bili...

An extension theorem for general weight functions is proved over nite commutative local principal ideal rings. The structure of the complex semigroup ring associated to the multiplicative semigroup of the ring plays a prominent role in the proof. 1. Background In her doctoral dissertation, MacWilliams [8], [9] proved an equivalence theorem: two linear codes C1; C2 F n de ned over a nite eld F a...

The paper deals with the realization theory of bilinear hybrid systems, i.e. hybrid systems with continuous dynamics determined by bilinear control systems. We will formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a bilinear hybrid system realizing a set of specified input/output maps. We will also present a characterization of a minimal bilinear hybrid realization and a proce...

Bilinear inverse problems (BIPs), the resolution of two vectors given their image under a bilinear mapping, arise in many applications. Without further constraints, BIPs are usually ill-posed. In practice, properties of natural signals are exploited to solve BIPs. For example, subspace constraints or sparsity constraints are imposed to reduce the search space. These approaches have shown some s...

fiber metal laminates (fmls) are new composite materials consisting of thin metal layers and high strength composite layers. arall (aramid aluminum laminate) is a family of the fml that consists of thin aluminum sheets along with kevlar/epoxy composite layers. this material has many advantages such as light weight, excellent corrosion, fatigue and impact resistance. since, arall is a new materi...

A bstract We discuss the emergence of a new symmetry generator in Hamiltonian realisation four-dimensional gauge theories flat space foliated by retarded (advanced) time. It generates an asymptotic that acts on fields way different from usual large transformations. The improved canonical generators, corresponding to and symmetries, form classical Kac-Moody charge algebra with non-trivial centra...

We show that several system-theoretic properties are preserved under a bilinear transformation from a continuous-time linear system to a discrete-time one (and conversely). For example, strong stability, infinite-time admissibility of the control and observation operators and approximate controllability and observability are all preserved. On the other hand, exponential stability (stabilizabili...

This paper contains sufficient conditions under which a map whose domain is a compact set is a bijection onto a given set. Relative to certain isoparametric finite element maps, one set of conditions involves the nonvanishing of the Jacobian; another the notion of overspill. An algorithm based on elimination is given for the numerical inversion of these maps.

We introduce a kind of bilinear differential equations by generalizing Hirota bilinear operators, and explore when the linear superposition principle can apply to the resulting generalized bilinear differential equations. Together with an algorithm using weights, two examples of generalized bilinear differential equations are computed to shed light on the presented general scheme for constructi...
