The analytic expression of the time evolution of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor in all planar homogeneous ows is obtained by exact integration of the modeled di erential Reynolds stress equations. The procedure is based on results of tensor representation theory, is applicable for general pressure-strain correlation tensors, and can account for any additional turbulence anisotropy e ects...

This paper is devoted to the study of periodic boundary value problems for nonlinear third order di¤erential equations subjected to impulsive e¤ects. We provide su¢ cient conditions on the nonlinearity and the impulse functions that guarantee the existence of at least one solution. Our approach is based on a priori estimates, the method of upper and lower solutions combined with an iterative te...

Stability of stochastic di#erential equations with Markovian switching has recently been discussed by many authors, for example, Basak et al. (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 202 (1996) 604), Ji and Chizeck (IEEE Trans. Automat. Control 35 (1990) 777), Mariton (Jump Linear System in Automatic Control, Marcel Dekker, New York), Mao (Stochastic Process. Appl. 79 (1999) 45), Mao et al. (Bernoulli 6 (2000) 73...

Figure 1 illustrates the interaction between a client and a database server hosting privacysensitive data, e.g., data about people’s health conditions. Di↵erential privacy prevents revealing the identity of an individual by adding noise to the query results, s.t. information about any one particular individual remain hidden. For example, a client won’t be able to tell whether Chris (or any othe...

Detecting and extracting modi cations from information sources is an integral part of data warehousing. For unsophisticated sources, in practice it is often necessary to infer modi cations by periodically comparing snapshots of data from the source. We call this problem the snapshot di erential problem. We show that this is closely related to outerjoins. In this paper we extend the traditional ...

We present a block cipher that has the best performance of all 64-bit block ciphers with the smallest proven di erential/linear probability 2 62 using the structure proposed by Matsui. One of features of his methodology is to use some power functions in GF (2 n ) with di erent n that are resistant to di erential and linear attacks. In this paper we discuss how to combine power functions x k in ...

| In this paper, a novel noncoherent linear equalization scheme is introduced and analyzed. The proposed scheme is not only applicable for M{ ary di erential phase{shift keying (MDPSK) but also for M{ary di erential amplitude/phase{shift keying (MDAPSK) and minimizes the variance of intersymbol interference (ISI) in the equalizer output signal. The optimum equalizer coeÆcients may be calculated...

We describe an object oriented MATLAB toolbox for solving di erential equations on manifolds. The software re ects recent development within the area of geometric integration. Through the use of elements from di erential geometry, in particular Lie groups and homogeneous spaces, coordinate free formulations of numerical integrators are developed. The strict mathematical de nitions and results a...

Linear di erential algebraic equations with properly stated leading term are considered via a decoupling into their essential parts. It is shown why for so-called numerically well formulated equations the decoupling and discretizations commute in some sense. In general one cannot expect this commutativity so that additional diÆculties like strong stepsize restrictions may arise. Moreover, abstr...

We propose solving the inverse eigenvalue problem for symmetric nonnegative matrices by means of a di erential equation. If the given spectrum is feasible, then a symmetric nonnegative matrix can be constructed simply by following the solution curve of the di erential system. The choice of the vector eld is based on the idea of minimizing the distance between the cone of symmetric nonnegative m...
