This paper proposes a novel stream encryption scheme with avalanche effect (SESAE). Using this scheme and an ideal pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) to generate d-bit segment binary key streams, one can encrypt a plaintext such that by using any key stream generated from a different seed to...

Previous studies concerning pinning control of complex-network synchronization have very often demonstrated that in an unweighted symmetrical scale-free network, controlling the high-degree nodes is more efficient than controlling randomly chosen ones; due to the heterogeneity of the node-degree...

In this paper, the important issue of Laplacian eigenvalue distributions is investigated through theory-guided extensive numerical simulations, for four typical complex network models, namely, the ER random-graph networks, WS and NW small-world networks, and BA scale-free networks. It is found...

A Cournot duopoly, with a bounded inverse demand function and different constant marginal production costs, can be modeled as a discrete-time dynamical system, which exhibits complex bifurcating and chaotic behaviors. Based on some essential features of the model, we show how bifurcation and...

In this paper, we give statistical analyses and simulation studies on the Lyapunov exponents estimated from noisy chaotic time series. Through the Jacobian estimation approach, the asymptotic distribution of the estimated Lyapunov exponents are studied and characterized from the observed noisy...

We apply the theory of incremental input-to-state stability to the problem of synchronization in a complex dynamical network of identical nodes, using chaotic nodes as a typical platform. The proposed technique can achieve chaos synchronization using only partial state/output information in the...
