Direct scaling of residual displacements for bilinear and pinching oscillators

The estimation of residual displacements in a structure due to an anticipated earthquake event has increasingly become an important component of performance-based earthquake engineering because controlling these displacements plays an important role in ensuring cost-feasible or cost-effective repairs in a damaged structure after the event.An attempt is made in this study to obtain statistical estimates of constant-ductility residual displacement spectra for bilinear and pinching oscillators with 5%initial damping,directly in terms of easily available seismological,site,and model parameters.None of the available models for the bilinear and pinching oscillators are useful when design spectra for a seismic hazard at a site are not available.The statistical estimates of a residual displacement spectrum are proposed in terms of earthquake magnitude,epicentral distance,site geology parameter,and three model parameters for a given set of ductility demand and a hysteretic energy capacity coefficient in the case of bilinear and pinching models,as well as for a given set of pinching parameters for displacement and strength at the breakpoint in the case of pinching model alone.The proposed scaling model is applicable to horizontal ground motions in the western U.S.for earthquake magnitudes less than 7 or epicentral distances greater than 20 km.

Efficient and Provably Secure Multi-Recipient Signcryption from Bilinear Pairings

Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive that performs signature and encryption simultaneously, at lower computational costs and communication overheads than the signature-then- encryption approach. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-recipient signcryption scheme based on the bilinear pairings, which broadcasts a message to multiple users in a secure and authenticated manner. We prove its semantic security and unforgeability under the Gap Diffie-Hellman problem assumption in the random oracle model. The proposed scheme is more efficient than re-signcrypting a message n times using a signcryption scheme in terms of computational costs and communication overheads.

A PROVABLY SECURE PROXY SIGNATURE SCHEME FROM BILINEAR PAIRINGS

A proxy signature allows an entity, called original signer, to delegate its signing power to another entity, called proxy signer, to sign messages on its behalf. Proxy signatures have many practical applications and are very important cryptographic protocol. In this paper, we propose an efficient proxy signature scheme from bilinear pairings. We prove it secure in the random oracle model and analyze computation cost of our scheme. Our scheme satisfies all the properties required for proxy signatures.

Provably Secure Short Proxy Signature Scheme from Bilinear Maps

An enhanced formal model of security for proxy signature schemes is presented and a provably secure short proxy signature scheme is proposed from bilinear maps. The proposed proxy signature scheme is based on two short secure signature schemes. One is used for delegating the signing rights and computing the standard signature; the other is used for computing proxy signature. Finally, a security proof of the proposed proxy signature scheme is showed by reducing tightly the security of the proposed proxy signature scheme to the security of the two basic signature schemes. The proposed proxy signature scheme has the shortest ordinary signatures and proxy signatures. Moreover, the proxy signature generation needs no pairing operation and verification needs just two pairing operation.

Quantum color image scaling based on bilinear interpolation

As a part of quantum image processing, quantum image scaling is a significant technology for the development of quantum computation. At present, most of the quantum image scaling schemes are based on grayscale images, with relatively little processing for color images. This paper proposes a quantum color image scaling scheme based on bilinear interpolation, which realizes the 2^(n_(1)) × 2^(n_(2)) quantum color image scaling. Firstly, the improved novel quantum representation of color digital images(INCQI) is employed to represent a 2^(n_(1)) × 2^(n_(2)) quantum color image, and the bilinear interpolation method for calculating pixel values of the interpolated image is presented. Then the quantum color image scaling-up and scaling-down circuits are designed by utilizing a series of quantum modules, and the complexity of the circuits is analyzed.Finally, the experimental simulation results of MATLAB based on the classical computer are given. The ultimate results demonstrate that the complexities of the scaling-up and scaling-down schemes are quadratic and linear, respectively, which are much lower than the cubic function and exponential function of other bilinear interpolation schemes.

We study dark localized waves within a nonlinear system based on the Boussinesq approximation,describing the dynamics of shallow water waves.Employing symbolic calculus,we apply the Hirota bilinear method to transform an extended Boussinesq system into a bilinear form,and then use the multiple rogue wave method to obtain its dark rational solutions.Exploring the first-and second-order dark solutions,we examine the conditions under which these localized solutions exist and their spatiotemporal distributions.Through the selection of various parameters and by utilizing different visualization techniques(intensity distributions and contour plots),we explore the dynamical properties of dark solutions found:in particular,the first-and second-order dark rogue waves.We also explore the methods of their control.The findings presented here not only deepen the understanding of physical phenomena described by the(1+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation,but also expand avenues for further research.Our method can be extended to other nonlinear systems,to conceivably obtain higher-order dark rogue waves.

In this paper, the evolutionary behavior of N-solitons for a (2 + 1)-dimensional Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky equations is studied by using the Hirota bilinear method and the long wave limit method. Based on the N-soliton solution, we first study the evolution from N-soliton to T-order (T=1,2) breather wave solutions via the paired-complexification of parameters, and then we get the N-order rational solutions, M-order (M=1,2) lump solutions, and the hybrid behavior between a variety of different types of solitons combined with the parameter limit technique and the paired-complexification of parameters. Meanwhile, we also provide a large number of three-dimensional figures in order to better show the degeneration of the N-soliton and the interaction behavior between different N-solitons.

This paper focuses on the problem of non-fragile guaranteed cost control for a class of T-S discrete-time fuzzy bilinear systems（DFBS）.Based on the parallel distributed compensation（PDC） approach,the sufficient conditions are derived such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the cost function value is no more than a certain upper bound in the presence of the additive controller gain perturbations.The non-fragile guaranteed cost controller can be obtained by solving a set of bilinear matrix inequalities（BMIs）.The Van de Vusse model is utilized to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A theoretical study of the multigrid three-dimensional variational data assimilation scheme using a simple bilinear interpolation algorithm

In order to solve the so-called ＂bull-eye＂ problem caused by using a simple bilinear interpolation as an observational mapping operator in the cost function in the multigrid three-dimensional variational （3DVAR） data assimilation scheme, a smoothing term, equivalent to a penalty term, is introduced into the cost function to serve as a means of troubleshooting. A theoretical analysis is first performed to figure out what on earth results in the issue of ＂bull-eye＂, and then the meaning of such smoothing term is elucidated and the uniqueness of solution of the multigrid 3DVAR with the smoothing term added is discussed through the theoretical deduction for one-dimensional （1D） case, and two idealized data assimilation experiments （one- and two-dimensional （2D） cases）. By exploring the relationship between the smoothing term and the recursive filter theoretically and practically, it is revealed why satisfied analysis results can be achieved by using such proposed solution for the issue of the multigrid 3DVAR.

In comparison with the existing results, the drawbacks, such as coordinate transformation, same output matrices, have been elim- inated. Finally, a simulation example shows that the approach is effective.
