Improved 2D Discrete Hyperchaos Mapping with Complex Behaviour and Algebraic Structure for Strong S-Boxes Generation by Musheer Ahmad, Eesa Al-Solami

“…Secondly, a hyperchaotic key-dependent substitution-box generation process is designed, which is based on the bijectivity-preserving effect of multiplication with permutation matrix to obtain satisfactory configuration of substitution-box matrix over the enormously large problem space of 256!. Lastly, the security strength of obtained S-box is further elevated through the action of proposed algebraic group structure. …”

Difference equations: From Berry connections to the Coulomb branch by Andrea E. V. Ferrari, Daniel Zhang

“…In recent work, we demonstrated that a spectral variety for the Berry connection of a 2d $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ GLSM with Kähler vacuum moduli space $X$ and Abelian flavour symmetry is the support of a sheaf induced by a certain action on the equivariant quantum cohomology of $X$. …”

A Novel Method of the Generalized Interval-Valued Fuzzy Rough Approximation Operators by Tianyu Xue, Zhan’ao Xue, Huiru Cheng, Jie Liu, Tailong Zhu

“…These operators are shown to be equivalent to the generalized interval fuzzy rough approximation operators introduced by Dubois, which are determined by any interval-valued fuzzy binary relation expressed in a generalized approximation space. Main properties of these operators are discussed under different interval-valued fuzzy binary relations, and the illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the main features of the proposed operators.…”
