Autocorrelation of Sequences Generated by Single Cycle T-Functions

Cryptographic properties of the single cycle T-function's output sequences are investigated.Bounds of autocorrelation functions of the kth coordinate sequence and bounds of state output sequence are calculated respectively.The Maximum Sidelobe Ratio(MSR) of the kth coordinate sequence and the MSR of state output sequence are given respectively.The bounds of autocorrelation functions show that the values of autocorrelation functions are large when shifts are small.Comparisons of the autocorrelations between the state output sequence and coordinate output sequence are illustrated.The autocorrelation properties demonstrate that T-functions have cryptographic weaknesses and the illustration result shows coordinate output sequences have better autocorrelation than that of state output sequences.

T-Jordan Canonical Form and T-Drazin Inverse Based on the T-Product

In this paper,we investigate the tensor similarity and propose the T-Jordan canonical form and its properties.The concepts of the T-minimal polynomial and the T-characteristic polynomial are proposed.As a special case,we present properties when two tensors commute based on the tensor T-product.We prove that the Cayley-Hamilton theorem also holds for tensor cases.Then,we focus on the tensor decompositions:T-polar,T-LU,T-QR and T-Schur decompositions of tensors are obtained.When an F-square tensor is not invertible with the T-product,we study the T-group inverse and the T-Drazin inverse which can be viewed as the extension of matrix cases.The expressions of the T-group and T-Drazin inverses are given by the T-Jordan canonical form.The polynomial form of the T-Drazin inverse is also proposed.In the last part,we give the T-core-nilpotent decomposition and show that the T-index and T-Drazin inverses can be given by a limit process.

Generating quasi-single-cycle THz pulse from frequency-chirped electron bunch train and a tapered undulator

We propose a proof-of-principle experiment to test a new scheme to produce a single-cycle radiation pulse in free-electron lasers(FELs). Here, a few α-BBO crystals will be first used to produce an equally spaced laser pulse train.Then, the laser pulse train illuminates the cathode to produce a frequency-chirped electron bunch train in a photocathode rf gun. Finally, the frequency-chirped electron bunch train passes through a tapered undulator to produce a quasi-single-cycle THz pulse. This experiment should allow comparison and confirmation of predictive models and scaling laws, and the preliminary experimental results will also be discussed.

Linear complexity of sequences produced by single cycle T-function

Four kinds of sequences generated by single cycle triangular function （T-function） are investigated to check the possibility for a single cycle T-function to be a cryptographic component in stream ciphers. Based on the special properties of single cycle T-function and an algorithm due to Wei, linear complexities of these four kinds of sequence are all acquired. The results show that single cycle T-function sequences have high linear complexity. Therefore, T-function satisfies the essential requirements being a basic component of stream cipher.
