A Matrix-Based Polyalphabetic Algorithm for Information Encoding and Decoding Using Number Sequences

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a matrix-based polyalphabetic data encoding and decoding scheme using Fibonacci, Leonardo, Jacobsthal, and Lucas sequences. The method employs three sequence-based alphabets for character substitution and a Lucas-based auxiliary alphabet for word separators. A position-dependent selector, \[ \sigma=\bigl(v^2+(i-1)+(j-1)\bigr)\pmod 3, \] distributes repeated plaintext symbols among different numerical alphabets, thereby reducing frequency concentration. The resulting numerical matrix is divided into $3\times 3$ blocks and transformed using powers of the Leonardo $Q$-matrix with block-dependent keys generated from pre-shared parameters $(s,p)$. A collision-free public prime $P$ is used to keep ciphertext entries bounded while preserving unique decoding. A worked example and preliminary statistical, entropy, avalanche, and timing results indicate that the proposed modular construction is computationally efficient and provides improved distributional behavior compared with standard monoalphabetic substitution.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
