In a di erential equations course, one typically studies a few classes of problems for which there are closed form solutions, such as ordinary, linear di erential equations with constant coe cients. Most problems of interest in real world simulation problems are much more complex, however, involving domains of two or more dimensions or nonlinear e ects, yielding partial di erential equations or...

This paper considers the security of iterated block ciphers against the di erential cryptanalysis introduced by Biham and Shamir. Di erential cryptanalysis is a chosen-plaintext attack on secret-key block ciphers that are based on iterating a cryptographically weak function r times (e.g., the 16-round Data Encryption Standard (DES) ). It is shown that the success of such attacks on an r-round c...

We study some classes of generalized convex functions, using a generalized di¤erential approach. By this we mean a set-valued mapping which stands either for a derivative, a subdi¤erential or a pseudodi¤erential in the sense of Jeyakumar and Luc. We establish some links between the corresponding classes of pseudoconvex, quasiconvex and another class of generalized convex functions we introduced...

We extend Ehrhard Regnier's di erential linear logic along the lines of Laurent's polarization. We provide a denotational semantics of this new system in the well-known relational model of linear logic, extending canonically the semantics of both di erential and polarized linear logics: this justi es our choice of cut elimination rules. Then we show this polarized di erential linear logic re ne...

We survey some constructive aspects of di erential Galois theory and indicate some analogies between ordinary Galois theory and di erential Galois theory in characteristic zero and nonzero.

this paper describes an approximating solution, based on lagrange interpolation and spline functions, to treat functional integral equations of fredholm type and volterra type. this method can be extended to functional dierential and integro-dierential equations. for showing eciency of the method we give some numerical examples.

in this paper, the dierential transform method (dtm) is applied to the fisherequation. this method can be used to obtain the exact solutions of fisherequation. finally, we give some examples to illustrate the suciency of themethod for solving such nonlinear partial dierential equations. these resultsshow that this technique is easy to apply.

In this paper we address the problem of characterizing the in nitesimal properties of functions which are non-increasing along all the trajectories of a di erential inclusion. In particular, we extend the condition based on the proximal gradient to the case of semicontinuous functions and Lipschitz continuous di erential inclusions. Moreover, we show that the same criterion applies also in the ...

We study oscillatory behavior of a class of second-order neutral di¤erential equations relating oscillation of these equations to existence of positive solutions to associated first-order functional di¤erential inequalities. Our assumptions allow applications to di¤erential equations with both delayed and advanced arguments, and not only. New theorems complement and improve a number of results ...

| Four schemes for linearizing the transconductance of the basic di erential pair in subthreshold CMOS are examined. They are: source degeneration via (1) diode-connected transistors, (2) a single di usor and (3) symmetric di usors, and (4) multiple asymmetric di erential pairs. We derive equations for the di erential output current for each linearizing technique. We apply a maximally at optimi...
