In this paper, we first prove (Theorem 1) that any two inputs producing the same output in a symmetric pair of discrete skew tent maps always have the same parity, meaning that they are either both even or both odd. Building on this property, we then...

Linkable ring signatures are a type of ring signature scheme that can protect the anonymity of signers while allowing the public to verify whether the same signer has signed the same message multiple times. This functionality makes linkable ring sign...

Channel coding has long stood at the core of reliable communications, shaping the evolution of modern information and communication systems [...]

We introduce a new method for preparing a percolation system by employing an inverse percolation model. Unlike standard percolation, where the site occupancy is uniform, the new model imposes a distance-dependent probability of site removal, where si...

We analyze the time-dependent physical spectrum of a driven Jaynes–Cummings model in which both the two-level system and the quantized cavity mode are subject to coherent classical driving. The time-dependent Hamiltonian is mapped, via well-def...

In the study of disordered hyperuniformity, which bridges ordered and disordered states and has broad implications in physics and biology, active matter systems offer a rich platform for spontaneous pattern formation. This work investigates frustrate...

In cryogenic air liquefaction systems, a major share of the mechanical energy consumption is associated with exergy destruction caused by heat transfer in recuperative heat exchangers. This study investigated the exergetic optimization of cryogenic g...

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems are a cornerstone technology for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks. These systems provide high-capacity backhaul while...

This work formalizes the notions of structure and pattern for three distinct one-dimensional spin-lattice models (finite-range Ising, solid-on-solid, and three-body), using information- and computation-theoretic methods. We begin by presenting a nove...

Public–private partnership (PPP) has been increasingly imported to deliver infrastructure and public services around the world. As an emerging public procurement mode, PPP has drawn considerable attention both from academy and industry. We cons...
