On the Distribution of Diffie--Hellman Triples with Sparse Exponents
Authors: John B. Friedlander, Igor E. Shparlinski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

Let g be a primitive root modulo a (n+1)-bit prime p. In this paper we prove the uniformity of distribution of the Diffie--Hellman triples (gx, gy, gxy) as the exponents x and y run through the set of n-bit integers with precisely k nonzero bits in their bit representation provided that $k \ge 0.35 n$. Such "sparse" exponents are of interest because for these the computation of gx, gy, gxy is faster than for arbitrary x and y. In the latter case, that is, for arbitrary exponents, similar (albeit stronger) uniformity of distribution results have recently been obtained by R. Canetti, M. Larsen, D. Lieman, S. Konyagin [ Israel J. Math, 120 (2000), pp. 23--46], and the authors.

Two-Dimensional Simulations of Valveless Pumping Using the Immersed Boundary Method
Authors: Eunok Jung, Charles S. Peskin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Flow driven by pumping without valves is examined, motivated by biomedical applications: cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the human fetus before the development of the heart valves. The direction of flow inside a loop of tubing which consists of (almost) rigid and flexible parts is investigated when the boundary of one end of the flexible segment is forced periodically in time. Despite the absence of valves, net flow around the loop may appear in these simulations. The magnitude and even the direction of this flow depend on the driving frequency of the periodic forcing.

Verifying Jacobian sparsity
Authors: Andreas Griewank, Christo Mitev
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

In recent paper [244] we describe an automatic procedure for successively reducing the set of possible nonzero elements in a Jacobian matrix until eventually the exact sparsity pattern is obtained. The dependence information needed in this probing process consists of "Boolean products", Jacobian-vector products, and vector-Jacobian products, which can be evaluated by propagating Boolean variables forward or backward through the function evaluation procedure. Starting from a user specified (or by default initialized) prior probability distribution, the procedure suggests a sequence of probing vectors. The resulting information is then used according to Bayes' law to update the probabilities that certain elements are nonzero. We analyze the special situation where the sparsity pattern is provided as a guess and merely needs to be verified with a small number of probes. For banded n x n matrices with h superdiagonals it is shown that the greedy heuristics developed in [244] requires in verification mode only O (h=log2 n) probes. Our numerical results indicate that this is still true if nothing is known a priori about the sparsity pattern.
Calculs sur les structures de langage d&eacute;nombrable
Authors: Ménard Bourgade
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We develop two models of calculus over stuctures of countable signature and the main items of the "structural complexity theory" which relates to them. In particular, we prove the existence of universal machines, complete problems, and structures with the P=NP property. In this frame, we are starting the study of Z-group without order and the field of p-adic numbers Qp.

Ways of structuring data within a digital cartographic data base
Authors: Dean T. Edson, George Y. G. Lee
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1977)

The National Mapping Program includes the activities for providing basic map data and a family of general-purpose maps. The U.S. Geological Survey is developing a Digital Cartographic Data Base (DCDB) within the National Mapping Program to include such features and reference systems as the public land survey network, State and county boundaries, transportation systems, and hydrography. Although the public land survey network is administered by the Bureau of Land Management, it is included as a DCDB component because of its relationship to almost all cultural development beyond the thirteen original States. Such data included in DCDB have no legal status and are intended for display and map reference only. The interrelationship of these categories, particularly of the first three, requires care in structuring the digitized data so that valuable time is not wasted in producing cartographic spaghetti. This paper presents some ideas about structuring the components of DCDB.

Solution Methods for the Poisson Equation with Corner Singularities: Numerical Results
Authors: Zhiqiang Cai, Seokchan Kim, Byeong-Chun Shin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In [Z. Cai and S. Kim, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 39 (2001), pp. 286--299], we developed a new finite element method using singular functions for the Poisson equation on a polygonal domain with re-entrant angles. Such a method first computes the regular part of the solution, then the stress intensity factor, and finally the solution itself. This paper studies solution methods for solving the system of linear equations arising from the discretization and focuses on numerical results including the finite element accuracy and the multigrid performance.
GS3: scalable self-configuration and self-healing in wireless networks
Authors: Hongwei Zhang, Anish Arora
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-first annual symposium on Principles of distributed computing (2002)

We present GS3, a distributed, scalable, self-configuration and self-healing algorithm for multi-hop wireless networks. The algorithm enables network nodes in a 2D plane to configure themselves into a cellular hexagonal structure such that cells have tightly bounded geographic radius and low overlap between neighboring cells. The structure is self-healing under various perturbations, such as node joins, leaves, deaths, movements, and state corruptions. For instance, it slides as a whole if nodes in many cells die at the same rate. Moreover, its configuration and healing are scalable in three respects: first, local knowledge enables each node to maintain only limited information with respect to a constant number of nearby nodes; second, local healing guarantees that all perturbations are contained within a tightly bounded region with respect to the perturbed area and dealt with in a one-way message diffusion time across the region; third, only local coordination is needed in both configuration and self-healing.

Approximating the Logarithm of a Matrix to Specified Accuracy
Authors: Sheung Hun Cheng, Nicholas J. Higham, Charles S. Kenney, Alan J. Laub
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

The standard inverse scaling and squaring algorithm for computing the matrix logarithm begins by transforming the matrix to Schur triangular form in order to facilitate subsequent matrix square root and Padé approximation computations. A transformation-free form of this method that exploits incomplete Denman--Beavers square root iterations and aims for a specified accuracy (ignoring roundoff) is presented. The error introduced by using approximate square roots is accounted for by a novel splitting lemma for logarithms of matrix products. The number of square root stages and the degree of the final Padé approximation are chosen to minimize the computational work. This new method is attractive for high-performance computation since it uses only the basic building blocks of matrix multiplication, LU factorization and matrix inversion.

Web Performance Tuning, 2nd edition
Authors: Patrick Killelea
Venue:  (2002)

:As long as the Web has existed, people have been trying to make it faster. The maturation of the Web has meant more users, more data, and more features -- and consequently, longer waits. Improved performance has become a critical factor in determining the usability of the Web in general, and of individual sites in particular. Web Performance Tuning is about getting the best possible performance from the Web. This book isn't just about tuning web server software; it's also about streamlining web content, getting optimal performance from a browser, tuning both client and server hardware, and maximizing the capacity of the network itself. Web Performance Tuning hits the ground running, providing concrete advice for quick results: the "blunt instruments" for improving crippled performance right away. The book then shifts gears to provide a conceptual background of the principles of computing performance. The latter half of the book examines each element of a web transaction -- from client to network to server -- to find the weak links in the chain and show how to strengthen them. In addition, the book includes many more examples and graphs of real-world performance problems and their solutions, and has been updated for Java 2. Web Performance Tuning is for anyone who has waited too long for a web page to display, or watched the servers they manage slow to a crawl. It's about making the Web more usable for everyone.
