Title: The benefits of elliptic curve cryptography
Abstract: We will introduce the basis of elliptic curve cryptography. Roughly speaking ECC is based on the group structure of the points defined on an elliptic curve over a finite field and the difficulty of solving the discrete log problem. The applications are many, such as signature verification and pseudo random generators. No knowledge of algebraic geometry is required.

Computing Exponentials of Essentially Non-negative Matrices with Entry-wise Accuracy

Speaker: Qiang Ye, University of Kentucky

Abstract:

A real square matrix is said to be essentially non-negative if all of its off-diagonal entries are non-negative. In this talk, I will present new perturbation results and algorithms that demonstrate that the exponential of an essentially non-negative matrix can be computed with entrywise relative accuracy.

Stability and dynamical morphologies of an ultrathin solid film in the presence of substrate wetting and surface electromigration

A PDE-based model combining surface electromigration and wetting is developed for the analysis of the morphological stability of ultrathin solid films. The adatom mobility is assumed anisotropic, and two directions of the electric field (parallel and perpendicular to the surface) are discussed and contrasted. The linear stability analysis of the small-slope evolution equations is followed by computations of the fully nonlinear parametric evolution equations that permit surface overhangs. The results reveal parameter domains of instability for wetting and non-wetting films and variable electric field strength, nonlinear steady-state solutions in certain cases, and interesting coarsening behavior for strongly wetting films. The goal of the modeling at this stage is not to match theoretical results with experiments, but rather to provide a broad analysis of the interplay of two effects (wetting and electromigration) that, at least to our knowledge, has not been addressed in prior publications.
