This paper suggests heuristic algorithm with polynomial time complexity for rigging elections problem that can be obtain the optimal solution using linear programming. The proposed algorithm transforms the given problem into adjacency graph. Then, we divide vertices V into two set W and D. The set W contains majority distinct and the set D contains minority area. This algorithm applies divide-and-conquer method that the minority area D is include into majority distinct W. While this algorithm using simple rule, that can be obtains the optimal solution equal to linear programing for experimental data. This paper shows polynomial time solution finding rule potential in rigging elections problem.

The performance and practicality of cryptosystem for encryption, decryption, and primality test are primarily determined by the implementation efficiency of the modular exponentiation of $a^b$ (mod m). To compute $a^b$ (mod m), the standard binary squaring (square-and-multiply) still seems to be the best choice. However, in large b bits, the preprocessed n-ary, ($n{\geq}2$ method could be more efficient than binary squaring method. This paper proposes a square-and-divide and unpreprocessed n-ary square-and-divide modular exponentiation method. Results confirmed that the square-and-divide method is the most efficient of trial number in a case where the value of b is adjacent to $2^k+2^{k-1}$ or to. $2^{k+1}$. It was also proved that for b out of the beforementioned range, the unpreprocessed n-ary square-and-divide method yields higher efficiency of trial number than the general preprocessed n-ary method.

As smart convergence occurs, solving the digital divide issue for weak layers such as the elderly, handicapped and poor groups is becoming an emerging issue. This study aims to promote information service to encourage active participation of the weak layers and to bridge the digital divide among those under the digital switchover and the smart phone convergence environments. This study, comparing the environments of Korea and other major countries with respect to digital divide, found some differences and tried to suggest proper policies for Korea to remain as a leading IT country. We expect this study to help the government, industries, schools cope with the divide issues and establish proper policies to provide weak layers with equal opportunities to IT in the coming smart convergence era.

The purpose of this study is to verify the moderating effect of mobile divide on the relationship between individual characteristics and the use outcomes of smart device. Data was collected through a survey for periods from May 12, 2017, to May 17, 2017. As a result of multiple regression analysis based on collected data, self-efficacy, information seeking desire and culture capital have a positive effect on the use outcomes of smart device. To examine the moderating effect of mobile divide, we conducted a hierarchical regression analysis by calculating the interaction variables of the independent variable and the mobile literacy. As a result of the analysis, it was found that mobile literacy has negative moderating effect between self-efficacy and the use outcomes of smart device. The results of this study can be interpreted as the higher the self-efficacy and information desire for ICT technology users are. In addition, it can be interpreted that the smart device is convenient in the cultural activities of individuals, and therefore, it is highly utilized. Next, among those who have excellent mobile use ability, those who have high confidence in ICT technology can be interpreted as having low utilization because they recognize that the benefits provided by smart devices are familiar and natural. The results of this study confirm that the digital divide problem in the smart environment is influenced by individual characteristics as well as demographic variables. Therefore, we expect the government to set appropriate policies considering the characteristics of individuals.

This paper proposes a local estimation system which combines Cell Divide Algorithm with low-cost GPS/INS fused by Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) for localization of Quad-rotor when it returns to the departure point. In the research, the low-cost GPS and INS are fused by EKF to reduce the local error of low-cost GPS and the accumulative error of INS due to continuous integration of sensor error values. When the Quad-rotor returns to the departure point in the fastest path, a moving path can be known because it moves straight, where Cell Divide Algorithm is used to divide moving route into the cells. Then it determines the closest position of data of GPS/INS system fused by EKF to obtain the improved local data. The proposed system was verified through comparing experimental localization results obtained by using GPS, GPS/INS and GPS/INS with Cell Divide Algorithm respectively.

Digital divide comes to appear as a new factor of causing social inequality with the entry of information society. Especially, the digital divide in student class makes a worry about education inequality as the education using ICT, e-learning, and u-learning are enlarged. So, the concern about the status of digital divide in school is increasing. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey of students and teachers in elementary and secondary schools located in Gyeongnam, and measured informatization level with the weighted average of three subindices : accessing index, capability index, and utilization index. According to the survey, the index on information processing capability showed the largest gap in both the student group and the teacher group. We also had the result of positive correlation between the capability index and the utilization index. These results show that the gap of information processing capability is an important factor for understanding the digital divide.

This study aim to demonstrate and categorize the status of level of mobile information utilization of the 2030 youth generation, and to identify factors that may affect the digital divide within the generation. For this purpose, 1779 data were analyzed using materials for the 2018 digital divide survey in Korea Ministry of Science and ICT. According to the level of information utilization, the consumers were categorized into three types : reference group (46.5%), high utilization group (27.2%), and low utilization group (26.3%). There were statistically significant differences in demographics variable, consumer capabilities, living satisfaction by type of consumer. In addition, the factors influencing the digital divide of the high utilization group and low utilization group were identified compared to the reference group. It is meaningful that this study confirmed the actual gap of information utilization and raised the possibility of the digital divide within the 2030 youth generation.

Facing the era of intelligence, the demands for changes of e-Government system appears to be rising upon the development of AI, VR, IoT and other new technologies. However, it also comes with the increasing possibility of mobile digital divide among regions, ethnicities and social classes. As the e-Government Service is only available for specific groups, the national government should proactively build an information environment to promote the convenient access and use of e-Government Service comprehensively by all the people. In the light of the sociodemographic characteristics, this study tests whether the difference is statistically significant involving the mobile digital divide between different groups with the analysis of variance, while determining the relationship between the mobile digital divide and the usage intention of e-Government Service through multiple regression analysis. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, there are differences and statistical significance between groups of different ethnicities and regions on accessibility with electronic products and networks. Second, there are obvious differences and statistical significance between groups of different ages, educational levels and ethnicities on the competency and usability of electronic products and networks. Third, the accessibility to electronic products and networks has no effect on the usage intention of e-Government Service, while the competency and usability of electronic products and networks have a strong positive impact on the usage intention of e-Government Service. The author hopes that the research findings of this paper can provide reference suggestions and opinions for bridging the digital divide among regions in China and promoting the popularization of the e-Government Service.
