Chicken (Scheme implementation)Chicken (stylized as CHICKEN) is a programming language, specifically a compiler and interpreter which implement a dialect of the programming language Scheme, and which compiles Scheme source code to standard C. It is mostly R5RS compliant and offers many extensions to the standard. The newer R7RS standard is supported through an extension library. Chicken is free and open-source software available under a BSD license. It is implemented mostly in Scheme, with some parts in C for performance or to make embedding into C programs easier.
Problème de réseauIn computer science, lattice problems are a class of optimization problems related to mathematical objects called lattices. The conjectured intractability of such problems is central to the construction of secure lattice-based cryptosystems: Lattice problems are an example of NP-hard problems which have been shown to be average-case hard, providing a test case for the security of cryptographic algorithms. In addition, some lattice problems which are worst-case hard can be used as a basis for extremely secure cryptographic schemes.
Minimum-shift keyingLa modulation minimum-shift keying (MSK) est un type de modulation numérique par déplacement de fréquence à phase continue. Sur le principe du QPSK, la MSK est encodée par des bits alternant les moments en quadrature, la composante Q étant retardée de la moitié de la durée d'un symbole. Cependant, à l'inverse des signaux carrés utilisés en QPSK, la modulation MSK encode chaque bit sur une demi-sinusoïde. Un signal de module constant est obtenu, ce qui diminue les problèmes de distorsions non linéaires.
Diversity schemeIn telecommunications, a diversity scheme refers to a method for improving the reliability of a message signal by using two or more communication channels with different characteristics. Diversity is mainly used in radio communication and is a common technique for combatting fading and co-channel interference and avoiding error bursts. It is based on the fact that individual channels experience fades and interference at different, random times, i.e, they are at least partly independent.
Hilbert schemeIn algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, a Hilbert scheme is a scheme that is the parameter space for the closed subschemes of some projective space (or a more general projective scheme), refining the Chow variety. The Hilbert scheme is a disjoint union of projective subschemes corresponding to Hilbert polynomials. The basic theory of Hilbert schemes was developed by . Hironaka's example shows that non-projective varieties need not have Hilbert schemes.
Schéma (géométrie algébrique)En mathématiques, les schémas sont les objets de base de la géométrie algébrique, généralisant la notion de variété algébrique de plusieurs façons, telles que la prise en compte des multiplicités, l'unicité des points génériques et le fait d'autoriser des équations à coefficients dans un anneau commutatif quelconque.
Bruit additif blanc gaussienLe bruit additif blanc gaussien est un modèle élémentaire de bruit utilisé en théorie de l'information pour imiter de nombreux processus aléatoires qui se produisent dans la nature. Les adjectifs indiquent qu'il est : additif il s'ajoute au bruit intrinsèque du système d'information ; blanc sa puissance est uniforme sur toute la largeur de bande de fréquences du système, par opposition avec un bruit coloré qui privilégie une bande de fréquences par analogie avec une lumière colorée dans le spectre visible ; gaussien il a une distribution normale dans le domaine temporel avec une moyenne nulle (voir bruit gaussien).
Group schemeIn mathematics, a group scheme is a type of object from algebraic geometry equipped with a composition law. Group schemes arise naturally as symmetries of schemes, and they generalize algebraic groups, in the sense that all algebraic groups have group scheme structure, but group schemes are not necessarily connected, smooth, or defined over a field. This extra generality allows one to study richer infinitesimal structures, and this can help one to understand and answer questions of arithmetic significance.
E8 latticeIn mathematics, the E_8 lattice is a special lattice in R^8. It can be characterized as the unique positive-definite, even, unimodular lattice of rank 8. The name derives from the fact that it is the root lattice of the E_8 root system. The norm of the E_8 lattice (divided by 2) is a positive definite even unimodular quadratic form in 8 variables, and conversely such a quadratic form can be used to construct a positive-definite, even, unimodular lattice of rank 8. The existence of such a form was first shown by H.
Pulse shapingIn electronics and telecommunications, pulse shaping is the process of changing a transmitted pulses' waveform to optimize the signal for its intended purpose or the communication channel. This is often done by limiting the bandwidth of the transmission and filtering the pulses to control intersymbol interference. Pulse shaping is particularly important in RF communication for fitting the signal within a certain frequency band and is typically applied after line coding and modulation.
