In 2010, Resch and Plank proposed a computationally secure secret sharing scheme, called AONT-RS. We present a generalisation of their scheme and discuss two ways in which information is leaked if used to distribute small ciphertexts. We discuss how to prevent such leakage and provide a proof of computational privacy in the random oracle model. Next, we extend the scheme to be robust and prove ...

It is with apprehension but also conviction that I defend Marxism today1apprehension because we live in a period that is suspicious of visions of alternative futures, skeptical of grand historical narrative, dismissive of materialist explanations, rejecting of class analysis while tolerating capitalism's defects and pathologies as unavoidable and natural; conviction because we live in a period ...

Stochastic dynamics o f a soliton in a long optical fiber is analysed within the framework of the nonlinear Schr6dinger equation. It is shown that in the case of periodic perturbations describing, e.g. sound propagation along a fiber, adiabatic dynamics of a soliton may be stochastic, and the condition for this stochastic motion is obtained. In the case of random perturbations we obtain the sol...

Let Pd denote the family of all polynomials of degree at most d in one variable x, with real coefficients. A sequence of positive numbers x1 ≤ x2 ≤ . . . is called Pd-controlling if there exist y1, y2, . . . ∈ R such that for every polynomial p ∈ Pd there exists an index i with |p(xi)−yi| ≤ 1. We settle an problem of Makai and Pach (1983) by showing that x1 ≤ x2 ≤ . . . is Pd-controlling if and...

The focus of this paper is a convergence study of the frequency sensitive competitive learning (FSCL) algorithm. We approximate the final phase of FSCL learning by a diffusion process described by the Fokker-Plank equation. Sufficient and necessary conditions are presented for the convergence of the diffusion process to a local equilibrium. The analysis parallels that by Ritter-Schulten (1988) ...
