For fixed natural numbers $r$ and $s$, where $2\leq s \leq r$, we consider a representation of numbers from the interval $[0;\frac{r}{s-1}]$ obtained by encoding numbers by means of the alphabet $A=\{0,1,...,r\}$ via the expansion…

In this article a technique for constructing $p$-ary bent functions from near-bent functions is presented. Two classes of quadratic $p$-ary functions are shown to be near-bent. Applying the construction of bent functions to these classes of…

Functions with low c-differential uniformity have optimal resistance to some types of differential cryptanalysis. In this paper, we investigate the c-differential uniformity of power functions over finite fields. Based on some known almost…

We present a differentiable framework capable of learning a wide variety of compositions of simple policies that we call skills. By recursively composing skills with themselves, we can create hierarchies that display complex behavior. Skill…

Convolutional networks are powerful visual models that yield hierarchies of features. We show that convolutional networks by themselves, trained end-to-end, pixels-to-pixels, improve on the previous best result in semantic segmentation. Our…

NF set theory using intuitionistic logic is called iNF. We develop the theories of finite sets and their power sets and mappings, finite cardinals and their ordering, cardinal exponentiation, addition, and multiplication. We follow Rosser…

Classical strong external difference families (SEDFs) are much-studied combinatorial structures motivated by information security applications; it is conjectured that only one classical abelian SEDF exists with more than two sets. Recently,…

For any infinite subset $X$ of the rationals and a subset $F \subseteq X$ which has no isolated points in $X$ we construct a function $f: X \to X$ such that $f(f(x))=x$ for each $x\in X$ and $F $ is the set of discontinuity points of $f$.

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

Persistence is a strong, global, behavioural property of a Petri net, meaning that no activity can disable a different activity. Persistent permutability is a weaker property, pertaining to individual interleavings of a Petri net and…

For any real sequence {c(n)} tending to infinity as n tends to infinity, this constructs a function f which is continuous and integrable, and such that for every nonzero x, limsup c(n) f(n x) is infinite.

<Q>_e is the effective list of all finite predicate logic programs. <T_e> is the list of recursive trees. We modify constructions of Marek, Nerode, and Remmel [25] to construct recursive functions f and g such that for all indices e, (i)…

The Eremenko-Lyubich class consists of transcendental entire functions with bounded singular set and the Speiser class is made up of functions with a finite singular set. In an earlier paper "Models for the Eremenko-Lyubich class" I gave a…

This note initiates the study of the Fatou\,--\,Julia sets of a complex harmonic mapping. Along with some fundamental properties of the Fatou and the Julia sets, we observe some contrasting behaviour of these sets as those with in case of a…

We give conditions ensuring that the Fatou set and the complement of the fast escaping set of an exponential polynomial $f$ have finite Lebesgue measure. Essentially, these conditions are designed such that $|f(z)|\ge\exp(|z|^\alpha)$ for…

We derive new reduction formulas for the incomplete beta function and the Lerch transcendent in terms of elementary functions. As an application, we calculate some new integrals. Also, we use these reduction formulas to test the performance…

In the first part of this paper we establish, in terms of so called k-tangential sets, a kind of optimal estimate for the size and structure of the set of non-differentiability of Lipshitz functions with one-sided directional derivatives.…

Let $\mathbb{C}_K$ be a complete and algebraic closed non-archimedean field with residual characteristic $2$. In this paper we prove that there exist $a,b\in\mathbb{C}_K$ such that the rational function $R(z)=\frac{z^2-z}{bz-\frac{1}{a}}$…

It is known that backward iterations of independent copies of a contractive random Lipschitz function converge almost surely under mild assumptions. By a sieving (or thinning) procedure based on adding to the functions time and space…

We show that the category of graphs has the structure of a 2-category with homotopy as the 2-cells. We then develop an explicit description of homotopies for finite graphs, in terms of what we call `spider moves'. We then create a category…
