    No full text
    This report is Yi-Fang Lin Piano Recital Program Notes on April., 23, 2019. The two pieces on the program include Piano Sonata in C minor, K.457 by W.A. Mozart, and Piano Concerto No.1 in F-Sharp minor, Op.1 by S. Rachmaninoff. The note will introduce the life of two composers, the compositional background of individual work, and the analysis of the structure, including tonal design and thematic material in each work

    Constructing vertex-disjoint paths in (n,k)-star graphs

    No full text
    [[abstract]]This work describes a novel routing algorithm for constructing a container of width n - 1 between a pair of vertices in an (n, k)-star graph with connectivity it - 1. Since Lin et al. [T.C. Lin, D.R. Duh, H.C. Cheng, Wide diameter of (n, k)-star networks, in: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computing, Communications and Control Technologies, vol. 5, 2004 pp. 160-165] already calculated the wide diameters in (n, n - 1)-star and (n, 1)-star graphs, this study only considers an (n, k)-star with 2 <= k <= n - 2. The length of the longest container among all constructed containers serves as the upper bound of the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph. The lower bound of the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph with 2 <= k <= [n/2] and the lower bound of the wide diameter of a regular graph with a connectivity of 2 or above are also computed. Measurement results indicate that the wide diameter of an (n, k)-star graph is its diameter plus 2 for 2 <= k <= [n/2], or its diameter plus a value between 1 and 2 for [n/2] + 1 <= k <= n - 2.

    Sample Efficient Search to Decision for kkLIN

    No full text
    The kkLIN problem concerns solving noisy systems of random sparse linear equations mod 2. It gives rise to natural candidate hard CSP distributions and is a cornerstone of local cryptography. Recently, it was used in advanced cryptographic constructions, under the name \u27sparse LPN\u27. For constant sparsity kk and inverse polynomial noise rate, both search and decision versions of kkLIN are statistically possible and conjectured to be computationally hard for nmnk/2n\ll m\ll n^{k/2}, where mm is the number of kk-sparse linear equations, and nn is the number of variables. We show an algorithm that given access to a distinguisher for (k1)(k-1)LIN with mm samples, solves search kkLIN with roughly O(nm)O(nm) samples. Previously, it was only known how to reduce from search kkLIN with O(m3)O(m^3) samples, yielding meaningful guarantees for decision kkLIN only when mnk/6m \ll n^{k/6}. The reduction succeeds even if the distinguisher has sub-constant advantage at a small additive cost in sample complexity. Our technique applies with some restrictions to Goldreich\u27s function and kkLIN with random coefficients over other finite fields

    Joint Reliability Importance in Linear <i>m</I>-consecutive-<i>k< F Systems

    No full text
    Eryilmaz, Serkan/0000-0002-2108-1781We study the joint reliability importance (JRI) of two components in Lin/m/Con/k/n : F systems. A Lin/m/Con/k/n : F system consists of n linearly ordered binary components, and the system fails iff there are at least m nonoverlapping runs of k consecutive failed components (n >= mk). In particular, we obtain expressions for the JRI in Lin/m/Con/k/n : F systems when the components are s-independent & identical, when the components are s-independent & nonidentical, and when the components are exchangeable & s-dependent. We present extensive numerical illustrations

    Inverse systems of spectra and generalizations of a theorem of W.H. Lin

    No full text
    In this thesis we generalize a theorem of W. H. Lin. Lin's results are concerned with the homotopy and cohomotopy of an inverse system of spectra {P-k }. Using the quadratic construction we construct an inverse system of spectra {P-k(E)} We generalize Lin's results by studying the homotopy and cohomotopy of {P-k(E)}
