Almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions play a pivotal role in cryptography, particularly in securing symmetric key algorithms against differential attacks. Their algebraic properties, including ...

Lookup tables and Taylor series are two common methods for interpolating between experimentally gathered data or for generating a known function such as a sine wave. This article proposes a third ...

This study deals with atmospheric tropopause detection by satellite. It is found that incorrect forecasting of the trdpopause height yields a systematic bias in temperature profile estimates which use ...

In this work, we adopt a new approach to the construction of a global theory of algebras of generalized functions on manifolds based on the concept of smoothing operators. This produces a ...

Activation functions play a critical role in AI inference, helping to ferret out nonlinear behaviors in AI models. This makes them an integral part of any neural network, but nonlinear functions can ...

The commonly-quoted derivation of 3rd harmonic distortion level from the series expansion of the gain function produces an inaccurate result. This is often excused as an inherent artifact of the ...
