This document summarizes a lesson on higher dimensional difference equations. It discusses:
1) Linear systems described by equations of the form y(k+1) = Ay(k) and their solutions involving eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A.
2) Qualitative analysis of diagonal systems based on the magnitudes of the eigenvalues determining behaviors like attraction, repulsion, or saddle points.
3) The nonlinear case where equilibria y* are found as solutions to g(y*)=y* and stability is determined by eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix Dg(y*) evaluated at the equilibria.
A functional relationship between y and x can be made explicit. Even if the relation is not functional, however, we can assume the relation usually defines y as a function.

Lesson 6: Polar, Cylindrical, and Spherical coordinatesMatthew Leingang
"The fact that space is three-dimensional is due to nature. The way we measure it is due to us." Cartesian coordinates are one familiar way to do that, but other coordinate systems exist which are more useful in other situations.
On the Seidel’s Method, a Stronger Contraction Fixed Point Iterative Method o...BRNSS Publication Hub
In the solution of a system of linear equations, there exist many methods most of which are not fixed point iterative methods. However, this method of Sidel’s iteration ensures that the given system of the equation must be contractive after satisfying diagonal dominance. The theory behind this was discussed in sections one and two and the end; the application was extensively discussed in the last section.

Streamlining assessment, feedback, and archival with auto-multiple-choiceMatthew Leingang
Auto-multiple-choice (AMC) is an open-source optical mark recognition software package built with Perl, LaTeX, XML, and sqlite. I use it for all my in-class quizzes and exams. Unique papers are created for each student, fixed-response items are scored automatically, and free-response problems, after manual scoring, have marks recorded in the same process. In the first part of the talk I will discuss AMC’s many features and why I feel it’s ideal for a mathematics course. My contributions to the AMC workflow include some scripts designed to automate the process of returning scored papers
back to students electronically. AMC provides an email gateway, but I have written programs to return graded papers via the DAV protocol to student’s dropboxes on our (Sakai) learning management systems. I will also show how graded papers can be archived, with appropriate metadata tags, into an Evernote notebook.

The Mean Value Theorem is the most important theorem in calculus. It is the first theorem which allows us to infer information about a function from information about its derivative. From the MVT we can derive tests for the monotonicity (increase or decrease) and concavity of a function.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

6. Let’s kick it up a notch and look at the multivariable, linear,
homogeneous difference equation
y(k + 1) = Ay(k )
(we move the index into parentheses to allow y(k ) to have
coordinates and to avoid writing yk,i .)
7. Skipping class
Example
This example was a Markov chain with transition matrix
0.7 0.8
A=
0.3 0.2
Then the probability of going or skipping on day k satisfies the
equation
p(k + 1) = Ap(k )
8. Example
Female lobsters have more eggs each season the longer they
live. For this reason, it is illegal to keep a lobster that has laid
eggs.
Let yi be the number of lobsters in a fishery which are i years
alive. Then the difference equation might have the simplified
form
0 100 400 700
0.1 0 0 0
y(k + 1) = y(k)
0 0.3 0 0
0 0 0.9 0
11. Formal solution
y(1) = Ay(0)
y(2) = Ay(1) = A2 y(0)
y(3) = Ay(2) = A3 y(0)
So
Fact
The solution to the homogeneous system of linear difference
equations y(k + 1) = Ay(k) is
y(k) = Ak y(0)
12. Flop count
To multiply two n × n matrices takes n3 (n − 1) additions or
multiplications (flop=floating point operation)
13. Flop count
To multiply two n × n matrices takes n3 (n − 1) additions or
multiplications (flop=floating point operation)
So finding Ak takes about n4k flops!
14. Now what?
Suppose v is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ . Then the
solution to the problem
y(k + 1) = Ay(k), y(0) = v
is
15. Now what?
Suppose v is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ . Then the
solution to the problem
y(k + 1) = Ay(k), y(0) = v
is
y(k ) = λ k v
16. Now what?
Suppose v is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ . Then the
solution to the problem
y(k + 1) = Ay(k), y(0) = v
is
y(k ) = λ k v
Suppose
y(0) = c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + cm vm
17. Now what?
Suppose v is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ . Then the
solution to the problem
y(k + 1) = Ay(k), y(0) = v
is
y(k ) = λ k v
Suppose
y(0) = c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + cm vm
Then
Ay(0) = c1 λ1 v1 + c2 λ2 v2 + · · · + cm λm vm
A2 y(0) = c1 λ1 v1 + c2 λ2 v2 + · · · + cm λm vm
2 2 2
18. Now what?
Suppose v is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ . Then the
solution to the problem
y(k + 1) = Ay(k), y(0) = v
is
y(k ) = λ k v
Suppose
y(0) = c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + cm vm
Then
Ay(0) = c1 λ1 v1 + c2 λ2 v2 + · · · + cm λm vm
A2 y(0) = c1 λ1 v1 + c2 λ2 v2 + · · · + cm λm vm
2 2 2
If A is diagonalizable, we can take m = n and write any initial
vector as a linear combination of eigenvalues.
19. The big picture
Fact
Let A have a complete system of eigenvalues and eigenvectors
λ1 , λ2 , . . . , λn and v1 , v2 , . . . , vn . Then the solution to the
difference equation y(k + 1) = Ay(k) is
y(k ) = Ak y(0) = c1 λ1 v1 + c2 λ2 v2 + · · · + cn λn vn
k k k
where c1 , c2 , . . . , cn are chosen to make
y(0) = c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + cn vn

21. Iterating diagonal systems
Consider a 2 × 2 matrix of the form
λ1 0
D=

Then the λ ’s tell the behavior of the system.
22. Picture in terms of eigenvalues
λ1 > λ2 > 1: repulsion away from the origin
23. Picture in terms of eigenvalues
λ1 > λ2 > 1: repulsion away from the origin
1 > λ1 > λ2 > 0: attraction to the origin
24. Picture in terms of eigenvalues
λ1 > λ2 > 1: repulsion away from the origin
1 > λ1 > λ2 > 0: attraction to the origin
λ1 > 1 > λ2 : saddle point
25. Picture in terms of eigenvalues
λ1 > λ2 > 1: repulsion away from the origin
1 > λ1 > λ2 > 0: attraction to the origin
λ1 > 1 > λ2 : saddle point
26. Picture in terms of eigenvalues
λ1 > λ2 > 1: repulsion away from the origin
1 > λ1 > λ2 > 0: attraction to the origin
λ1 > 1 > λ2 : saddle point
For negative eigenvalues just square them and use the above
results.

33. The nonlinear case
Consider now the nonlinear system
y(k + 1) = g(y(k)).
The process is as it was with the one-dimensional nonlinear:
1. Look for equilibria y∗ with g(y∗ ) = y∗
2. Linearize about the equilibrium using the matrix
∂ gi
A = Dg(y∗ ) =
∂ yj
3. The eigenvalues of A determine the stability of y∗ .
