A New Steganographic Method For Grayscale Image Using Graph Coloring Problem, Sidi Mohamed Douiri, Mohamed Boy Ould Medeni, Souad Elbernoussi, El Mamoun Souidi

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

Statistical steganalysis schemes detect the existence of secret information embedded by steganography. The χ 2 detection and Regular-Singular (RS)-attack methods are two well known statistical steganalysis schemes used against LSB (least significant bit) steganography. The embedded message length can be estimated accurately by these two steganalysis schemes. For secret communication, the resistance of steganography against steganalysis is very important for information security. To avoid the enemy’s attempts, the statistical features between stego-images and cover images should be as similar as possible for better resistance to steganalysis. To ensure the security against the RS and χ 2 analysis, we presents in …

The proposed method is simple but nevertheless performed better than other traditional techniques.


A Self-Guided Particle Swarm Optimization With Independent Dynamic Inertia Weights Setting On Each Particle, Huantong Geng, Yanhong Huang, Jun Gao, Haifeng Zhu Mar 2013

A Self-Guided Particle Swarm Optimization With Independent Dynamic Inertia Weights Setting On Each Particle, Huantong Geng, Yanhong Huang, Jun Gao, Haifeng Zhu

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In the standard PSO algorithm, each particle in swarm has the same inertia weight settings and its values decrease from generation to generation, which can induce the decreasing of population diversity. As a result, it may fall into the local optimum. Besides, the decreasing of weights values is restricted by the maximum evolutionary generation, which has an influence on the convergence speed and search performance. In order to prevent the algorithm from falling into the local optimum early, reduce the influence of the maximum evolutional generation to the decline rate of weights, A Self-guided Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm with Independent …

Stochastic Optimal Control Of Dc Pension Fund Under The Fractional Brownian Motion, Jianwei Gao

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

This paper considers that the goal of the fund manager is to minimize the expected utility loss function, and the noises involved with the dynamics of some wealth are fractional Brownian motions with short-ranged dependence. By applying Hamilton and Lagrange multiplier, the stochastic optimal control problem is converted into non-random optimization. Furthermore, based on deterministic optimal control principle, it obtains the explicit solution of the optimal strategies via moment equations. Finally, it presents a simulation to analyze the dynamic behaviour of the optimal portfolio strategy influenced by the orders of fractional Brownian motions.

Efficient Mining Differential Co-Expression Constant Row Bicluster In Real-Valued Gene Expression Datasets, Miao Wang, Xuequn Shang, Xiaoyuan Li, Zhanhuai Li, Wenbin Liu

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

Biclustering aims to mine a number of co-expressed genes under a set of experimental conditions in gene expression dataset. Recently, differential co-expression biclustering approach has been used to identify class-specific biclusters between two gene expres- sion datasets. However, it cannot handle differential co-expression constant row biclusters efficiently in real-valued datasets. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, DRCluster, to identify Differential co-expression constant Row biCluster in two real-valued gene expression datasets. Firstly, DRCluster infers the differential co-expressed genes from each pair of samples in two real-valued gene expression datasets, and constructs a differential weighted undirected sample-sample relational graph.

A Logarithmic Slow-Start Algorithm Of Tcp Vegas In Ip Networks, Kai Mao

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In numerous TCP congestion control algorithms, TCP Vegas avoids congestion on its own initiative. However, its quick ending of slow-start and unsmooth growing cause the congest in window designing which makes it too small and bandwidth utilization decline too rapidly, even affecting network efficiency and reducing throughput ...etc. Targeted at the deficiencies, we propose a kind of Logarithmic Slow-Start Algorithm of TCP Vegas (LSSA-TCP Vegas) to conduct the dynamics of congestion window. We analyze the stability condition from the theory via the Nyquist stability criterion and study the issue such as convergence of the algorithm and configuration parameters. Our goal …

Assessing The Effect Of Chassis Torsional Stiffness On Tractor Semi-Trailer Rollover, Shuwen Zhou, Siqi Zhang

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

The semi-trailer chassis was usually treated as rigid body in many existing literature, which would lead to larger deviation from actual situation. A rigid semi-trailer chassis model was built and flexiblized based on the modal test results in this paper. The tractor semi-trailer with flexible chassis was utilized to simulate the rollover scenarios on high speed obstacle avoidance under emergency based on virtual prototyping. The simulation results were compared to the simplified 5-DOF, 3-wheel linear vehicle model. It was revealed that the wheels on flexible chassis are more inclined to be got pushed up and away from the road, which …

Two Novel And Secure Quantum Andos Schemes, Wei Yang, Liusheng Huang, Miaomiao Tian

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

A vendor has several secrets which he regards as of equal worth and importance. He is willing to sell any of these secrets to a buyer. The bargain is said to be secure when the following two conditions are satisfied: 1) the buyer can only obtain one secret if he pays for only one secret, and 2) the vendor will not be able to find out which secret the buyer picked. This cryptographic problem is customarily called all-or-nothing disclosure of secrets (ANDOS). Previous ANDOS schemes have a few defects: neither the number of the secrets is restricted within narrow limits, …

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to accelerate the searching speed in network intrusion detection system (NIDS) and we implement our algorithm in Snort, a popular open-source intrusion detection system. The algorithm is based on the fact that normal data stream rarely matches any virus signature and different packets need to check different keys. The algorithm does not need preprocessing and can check multiple characters in parallel. Experimental results show that our implementation is faster than original NFA/DFA based algorithms to deal with the same real packet traces while consuming an order of magnitude less memory.

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

The growing functionality of mobile devices explains increasing system performance requirements and the subsequent wide adoption of multicore processors. As mobile systems are battery powered, battery life largely limits these high performing multicore mobile devices. Developing an efficient power-aware processor manager for mobile multicore systems has received considerable attention. The conventional processor management system of embedded systems e.g., the Linux kernel scheduler incorporates an automatic scheme to control peripheral operations and processor frequency. However, this mechanism fails to consider user requirements, task loading, and operating status of processors in the multicore system to satisfy operating requirements. Therefore, this work presents …

We further demonstrated that the RKHS can be constructed using the linear combination of kernels, and the support vectors and their corresponding weights of SVM outputs describe the complexity of concept space. Therefore the calculation of PAC-Bayes …
