Dollar’s Influence on Crude Oil and Gold Based on MF-DPCCA Method by Zhonghui Ding, Kai Shi, Bin Wang

“…Through shuffled and Fourier-phase randomization, it is found that this multifractal feature is caused by the combined effect of the long-term cross-correlation between the returns and the fluctuation fat-tailed distribution, where the influence of the fat-tailed distribution is slightly greater than that of the long-term cross-correlation between the returns.…”

The "one-group-one-cipher" cryptograph of block-cipher based on chaotic by XUAN Lei1, YAN Ji-ning1

“…The"one-group-one-cipher"algorithm used the sequence from chaotic mapping as sub-key for block cipher was presented to solve the problem of weak keys existing in currently combined cipher algorithms.The randomness of abstracted key sequence was validated in aspects of Shannon entropy.The"one-group-one-cipher"algorithm was de-signed and implemented based on hyper-chaos generalized Hénon mapping and IDEA algorithms, and its security was analyzed theoretically.Analysis shows that the algorithm is so secure that it can withstand brute force attack, and it was perfect secrecy.The disadvantages of key’s reuse of block ciphers are avoided, and the practicality and feasibility of chaos ciphers and one-time pad are improved.…”

GHSOM intrusion detection based on Dempster-Shafer theory by Jie SU, Wei-wei DONG, Xuan XU, Shuai LIU, Li-peng XIE

“…On the basis of incremental GHSOM,the GHSOM neural network intrusion detection based on the theory of evidence reasoning method was put forward.It can deal with the uncertainty caused by randomness and fuzziness,as well as can constantly narrowing assumptions set by accumulate the evidence,effectively control dynamic growth of network and keep a good accuracy in noise environment.Experiments show that GHSOM intrusion detection method based on the Dempster Shafer theory realized the dynamic control for the scale of expended subnet during the process of detection.It has the better detection accuracy in the noise environment and improves the adaptability and extensibility of incremental GHSOM neural network intrusion detection method when the scale of network is expanded.…”

An improved blind detection algorithm of chaos Hopfield neural network by Dawei YU, Shaowei CHEN, Shujuan YU

“…In order to improve the flexibility of the activation function of the blind detection algorithm in Hopfield neural network,an activation function with better nonlinear approximation ability near the origin was proposed.For the case where the algorithm trapped in local optima,utilizing the good ergodicity and randomness of chaos mapping,chaos was used to generate the initial sequence at the starting point of the algorithm,and small-amplitude chaotic perturbation was performed when the current global optimum value was constant,so as to reduce the error performance of the algorithm.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the sensitivity of neurons to input values,has strong anti-interference ability and fast convergence speed,and improves the blind detection performance.…”

Improved Energy Detector with Weights for Primary User Status Changes in Cognitive Radio Networks by Xianzhong Xie, Xiaofeng Hu, Bin Ma, Ting Song

“…This paper presents an improved energy detector (ED) with weights to improve detection performance in this situation that the primary user's status changes as arriving or leaving randomly in cognitive radio networks. The idea is derived from the concept of unequal scale sampling such that the instantaneous energy statistic of the sampling points in the sensing period is endowed with monotonic weights. …”
