We present a new characterization of semi-bent and bent quadratic functions on finite fields. First, we determine when a GF(2)-linear combination of Gold functions Tr(x2i +1 ) is ...
Abstract. Location-based Services are emerging as popular applications in pervasive computing. Spatial k-anonymity is used in Locationbased Services to protect privacy, by hiding t...
Policy teaching considers a Markov Decision Process setting in which an interested party aims to influence an agent’s decisions by providing limited incentives. In this paper, ...
— The maximum lifetime routing problem in wireless sensor networks has received increasing attention in recent years. One way is to formulate it as a linear programming problem b...
