When excited by an input consisting of a number of discrete levels, a bilinear system becomes a linear time-varying system whose dynamics switches from one linear subsystem to another depending on the input level. This paper describes an identification method that uses the concept of a superstate of a linear switching system as a superstate of the bilinear system. In a superspace method, these ...

A new generalized predictive control algorithm for a kind of input-output bilinear system is proposed in the paper (BGPC). The algorithm combines bilinear and linear terms of I/O bilinear system, and constitutes an ARIMA model analogous to linear systems. Using optimization predictive information fully, the algorithm carries out multi-step predictions by recursive approximation. The heavy compu...

We study practical order-revealing encryption (ORE) with a well-defined leakage profile (the information revealed about the plaintexts from their ciphertexts), a direction recently initiated by Chenette, Lewi, Weis, and Wu (CLWW). ORE, which allows public comparison of plaintext order via their ciphertexts, is a useful tool in the design of secure outsourced database systems. We first show a ge...

In this paper, we propose a new blind group identification protocol and a hidden group signature protocol as its application. These protocols involve many provers and one verifier such that (1) the statement of all the provers are proved simultaneously, (2) and also all the provers using computationally limited devices (e.g. smart cards) have no need of computing the bilinear pairings, (3) but ...

This paper formulates a bilinear observer for a bilinear state-space model. Relationship between the bilinear observer gains and the interaction matrices are established and used in the design of such observer gains from input-output data. In the absence of noise, the question of whether a deadbeat bilinear observer exists that would cause the state estimation error to converge to zero identica...

Specimens of the SA508-IV reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel, containing 3.26 wt. % Ni and just 0.041 wt. % Cu, were irradiated at 290 ◦C to different displacement per atom (dpa) with 3.5 MeV Fe ions (Fe2+). Microstructure observation and nano-indentation hardness measurements were carried out. The Continuous Stiffness Measurement (CSM) of nano-indentation was used to obtain the indentation de...

In this paper we study the computation of symmetric systems of bilinear forms over finite fields via symmetric bilinear algorithms. We show that, in general, the symmetric complexity of a system is upper bounded by a constant multiple of the bilinear complexity; we characterize symmetric algorithms in terms of the cosets of a specific cyclic code, and we show that the problem of finding an opti...
