Extended integer tent maps and dynamic hash function by LIU Jian-dong

“…Based on the analysis of uniform distribution property of the extended integer tent maps,a novel dynamic hash function with the output length of 160bit was constructed.In addition,the MD structure was improved so that the capacity of collision resistance of the middle iteration process of the hash function was enhanced without extending intermediate states.Preliminary security testing indicates that,this hash function has a high degree of security,and it can be realized easily with great rapidity.The algorithm of hash function is an ideal subsititution for traditional hash function.…”

Optimization of non-smooth functions via differentiable surrogates. by Shikun Chen, Zebin Huang, Wenlong Zheng

“…The approach leverages gradient information from neural networks to guide SLSQP optimization while maintaining XGBoost's prediction precision. Through extensive testing on classical optimization benchmarks including Rosenbrock, Levy, and Rastrigin functions with varying dimensions and constraint conditions, we demonstrate that our method achieves solutions up to 40% better than traditional methods while reducing computation time by orders of magnitude. …”
