Let $m$ be an even positive integer. A Boolean bent function $f$ on $\GF{m-1} \times \GF {}$ is called a \emph{cyclic bent function} if for any $a\neq b\in \GF {m-1}$ and $\epsilon \in \GF{}$, $f(ax_1,x_2)+f(bx_1,x_2+\epsilon)$ is always…

Planar functions, introduced by Dembowski and Ostrom, are functions from a finite field to itself that give rise to finite projective planes. They exist, however, only for finite fields of odd characteristics. They have attracted much…

We consider a q-analogue of the standard bilinear form on the commutative ring of symmetric functions. The q=-1 case leads to a Z-graded Hopf superalgebra which we call the algebra of odd symmetric functions. In the odd setting we describe…

Almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions on finite fields of characteristic two have been studied by many researchers. Such functions have useful properties and applications in cryptography, finite geometries and so on. However APN…

Bent functions are of great importance in both mathematics and information science. The $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{S}$ class of bent functions was introduced by Dillon in 1974, but functions belonging to this class that can be explicitly…

We study the properties of Eisenstein-Kronecker numbers, which are related to special values of Hecke $L$-function of imaginary quadratic fields. We prove that the generating function of these numbers is a reduced (normalized or canonical…

Let $K$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We study a certain class of functions $K\rightarrow K$ that agree with an $\mathbb{F}_p$-affine function $K\rightarrow K$ on each coset of a given additive subgroup $W$ of $K$ - we call them…

We consider functions $f$ of two real variables, given as trigonometric functions over a finite set $F$ of frequencies. This set is assumed to be closed under rotations in the frequency plane of angle $\frac{2k\pi}{M}$ for some integer $M$.…

Generalized bent (gbent) functions is a class of functions $f: \mathbb{Z}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_q$, where $q \geq 2$ is a positive integer, that generalizes a concept of classical bent functions through their co-domain extension. A lot…

Let $G$ be a compact group. For $1\leq p\leq\infty$ we introduce a class of Banach function algebras $\mathrm{A}^p(G)$ on $G$ which are the Fourier algebras in the case $p=1$, and for $p=2$ are certain algebras discovered in…

We study in this paper very badly approximable matrix functions on the unit circle $\T$, i.e., matrix functions $\Phi$ such that the zero function is a superoptimal approximation of $\Phi$. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a…

In this paper, several new classes of Boolean functions with few Walsh transform values, including bent, semi-bent and five-valued functions, are obtained by adding the product of two or three linear functions to some known bent…

Bent partitions of $V_{n}^{(p)}$ play an important role in constructing (vectorial) bent functions, partial difference sets, and association schemes, where $V_{n}^{(p)}$ denotes an $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field…

Planar functions, introduced by Dembowski and Ostrom, have attracted much attention in the last decade. As shown in this paper, we present a new class of planar functions of the form $\operatorname{Tr}(ax^{q+1})+\ell(x^2)$ on an extension…

Denoting by $\mathbb{M}$ the complexification of the quaternionic algebra $\mathbb{H}$, we characterize the family of those $\mathbb{M}$-valued functions, defined on subsets of $\H$, whose values are actually quaternions, using an intrinsic…

Denote by P(K, k) the members of the field K which are sums of kth powers of field elements, by P+(K, k) the set of members of K which are sums of kth powers of totally positive elements of K. We are interested in deciding whether or not…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-convex if, for all $x,y\in I$, $t\in[0,1]$ it satisfies $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+t\Phi\big((1-t)|x-y|\big)+(1-t)\Phi\big(t|x-y|\big), $$ where…

We show that polynomial-time randomness (p-randomness) is preserved under a variety of familiar operations, including addition and multiplication by a nonzero polynomial-time computable real number. These results follow from a general…

Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully on a finite set $X$. As a natural generalization of the perfect nonlinearity of Boolean functions, the $G$-bentness and $G$-perfect nonlinearity of functions on $X$ are studied by Poinsot…
