Computationally Efficient Hybrid Downscaling of Surf Zone Hydrodynamics: Methodology and Evaluation by E. R. Echevarria, S. Contardo, B. Pérez‐Díaz, R. K. Hoeke, B. Leighton, C. Trenham, L. Cagigal, F. J. Méndez

“…Abstract We present a hybrid surf‐zone model that combines numerical simulations and statistical/machine learning techniques, enabling accurate calculations of nearshore wave and hydrodynamic parameters with high computational efficiency. The approach involves defining representative forcing conditions, carrying out numerical model (XBeach) simulations for these cases, and training machine learning models capable of predicting selected model output variables. …”

Construction and analysis of one class of cryptographic functions by Zhi-hui OU, Ya-qun ZHAO, Xu LI

“…A novel class of n+t -variable Boolean functions G (x,y) through adding t variables while concatenating t+ 1 Boolean functions (called basic function) was constructed and the Walsh spectrum and autocorrelation coefficient of G(x,y)were given.The relationship between G(x,y)and basic functions by Krawtchouk polynomial and Krawtchouk matrix was studied.Moreover,their cryptographic properties:correlation immunity,propagation and algebraic immunity were investigated.Specially,the detailed relationship between G (x,y) and basic functions when t= 2 was analyzed.In additional,a novel class of multioutput Boolean functions by generalizing the method was constructed and the general Walsh spectrum of the class of multioutput Boolean functions was proposed.Correlation immunity and algebraic immunity of the class of multioutput Boolean functions were analyzed.…”
