The Substitution box (s-box) is the only nonlinear component of any security system. It plays a crucial role in securing data from an unauthorized access by inverting it into an unreadable form. The algebraic structures are mostly utilized to develop two types of s-box generators, namely the randomized and the optimal generators. The one type outputs dynamic, while the other one is responsible to design s-boxes with high cryptographic properties. However, the generator which gives highly dynamic and optimal s-boxes needs high computational overhead, which limits the encryption throughput of a large useful data set. This fact implies the need of developing an s-box generator that is capable to construct an s-box with high cryptographic properties at a low computational cost. This study presents an innovative algebraic method for constructing optimal s-boxes using a finite field and a polynomial ring. Our approach offers flexibility in selecting unconstrained primes and polynomials, allowing the generation of highly dynamic and nonlinear s-boxes. By evaluating polynomials over a finite field and introducing a new total ordering, we effectively diffuse input elements and derive optimal s-boxes with a nonlinearity of 112. We determine the total number of s-boxes based on the proposed scheme. The performance of the proposed s-box is assessed using standard metrics. We compare the attained results with that of the s-boxes constructed by the recent and state of the art algorithms. Apart from this, we compare the proposed s-box generator with an efficient one regarding the execution time and other cryptographic properties. We showed that the proposed scheme attains the highly nonlinear component approximately 5 times faster than the existing one, and the experimental results indicate that the current method outperforms than others across the standard cryptographic metrics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"237 ","pages":"Pages 263-280"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143924063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finite difference, finite element and spectral schemes are well-established methods to tackle such equations, yet they have the challenging issues of mesh generation, underlying integral evaluations, ill-conditioned dense system matrices, and are often restricted by domain geometry. This article presents an efficient and simple localized meshless approximation scheme to analyze the solution behavior of a three-dimensional reaction–diffusion system. The proposed scheme produces sparse (collocation) differentiation matrices for discretization of spatial differential operators which alleviates the problem of ill-conditioned and dense collocation matrices. The scheme is a truly meshless, background integration-free scheme and is equally effective for solving problems over non-rectangular domains with scattered data points. The convergence, stability, and positivity properties of the proposed scheme are theoretically established and numerically verified on some benchmark problems. The outcomes verify the reliability, accuracy, and simplicity of the proposed scheme in higher dimensions when compared to the available results in the literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"237 ","pages":"Pages 18-41"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143906035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three-population multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann models are constructed to solve the conservative Allen-Cahn phase field equation, the velocity-based Navier-Stokes equations, and the magnetic scalar potential equation. To deal with axisymmetric effects, some appropriate equilibrium distribution functions and discrete source/forcing terms are given. The Chapman-Enskog analysis is used to show the consistencies between the present newly proposed multi-relaxation time flow field lattice Boltzmann model and macroscopic governing equations. In the numerical validation section, the Laplace law and a sphere in a uniform magnetic field were simulated, which the simulation results show good agreement with the analytical solutions. Then several typical problems such as ferrofluid droplet deformation, Rayleigh–Plateau instability, two bubbles merging and bubble rising in ferrofluids are numerically studied to explore the mechanism of phase field interface dynamics in two-phase ferrofluid flows. As the density ratio between the two phases ranges from 1.975 to 1000, and the dynamic viscosity ratio ranges from 1 to 200, the numerical simulation results are satisfactory. This indicates that the proposed model can effectively deal with complex two-phase ferrofluid flows with large density and viscosity ratios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"237 ","pages":"Pages 281-315"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143927381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analogous to predator–prey dynamics in mathematical economics, the Goodwin model, despite its simplicity, effectively captures the periodic behavior of state variables over specific time intervals. By relaxing the initial assumptions, the model can be adapted to account for more complex economic scenarios. In this article, we study a higher-dimensional extension of the Goodwin model that incorporates variable capacity utilization and capital coefficient alongside employment ratio and wage share. In particular instances, the wage share and employment rate equations decouple from the overall system. For these cases, by incorporating a delay effect in the Phillips curve, we demonstrate that while the equilibrium of the generalized system remains stable within certain parameter domains in the absence of delay, the introduction of delay can induce a Hopf bifurcation, leading to periodic oscillations.
