Recently, the interest in semifields has increased due to the discovery of several new families and progress in the classification problem. Commutative semifields play an important role since they are equivalent to certain planar functions…
A (positive definite integral) quadratic form is called almost 2-universal if it represents all (positive definite integral) binary quadratic forms except those in only finitely many equivalence classes. Oh [7] determined all almost…
In this paper, a new construction of quaternary bent functions from quaternary quadratic forms over Galois rings of characteristic 4 is proposed. Based on this construction, several new classes of quaternary bent functions are obtained, and…
Homogeneous rotation symmetric Boolean functions have been extensively studied in recent years because of their applications in cryptography. Little is known about the basic question of when two such functions are affine equivalent. The…
Some binary quadratic operads are endowed with anticyclic structures and their characteristic functions as anticyclic operads are determined, or conjectured in one case.
We prove that two fixed univariate functions, namely, an arbitrary continuous non-affine function and a concrete affine function, are sufficient to approximate continuous functions of one variable under the operations of addition and…
We define new families of noncommutative symmetric functions and quasi-symmetric functions depending on two matrices of parameters, and more generally on parameters associated with paths in a binary tree. Appropriate specializations of both…
Starting from special near-bent functions in dimension 2t-1 we construct bent functions in dimension 2t having a specific derivative. We deduce new famillies of bent functions
A symmetric function of $N$ variables can be given in terms of symmetric polynomials of these variables. We determine those symmetric polynomials in which the dual differential operators take the neatest form when expressed in terms of our…
In a recent survey, Schmidt compiled equivalences between generalized bent functions, group invariant Butson Hadamard matrices, and abelian splitting relative difference sets. We establish a broader network of equivalences by considering…
Bent functions can be classified into regular bent functions, weakly regular but not regular bent functions, and non-weakly regular bent functions. Regular and weakly regular bent functions always appear in pairs since their duals are also…
We recall the definition of quasinearly subharmonic functions, point out that this function class includes, among others, subharmonic functions, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly subharmonic functions and essentially almost subharmonic…
It is well known that a quadratic function defined on a finite field of odd degree is almost bent (AB) if and only if it is almost perfect nonlinear (APN). For the even degree case there is no apparent relationship between the values in the…
Assume $n=2m\geq 2$ and let $F(x)=x^{d_1}+x^{d_2}$ be a binomial vectorial function over $\F_{2^n}$ possessing the maximal number (i.e. $2^n-2^m$) of bent components. Suppose the $2$-adic Hamming weights $\wt_2(d_1)$ and $\wt_2(d_2)$ are…
An invertible polynomial in $n$ variables is a quasihomogeneous polynomial consisting of $n$ monomials so that the weights of the variables and the quasi-degree are well defined. In the framework of the construction of mirror symmetric…
This paper extends previous work on linear correlations of representation functions of positive definite binary quadratic forms to allow indefinite forms.
Bent-negabent functions have many important properties for their application in cryptography since they have the flat absolute spectrum under the both Walsh-Hadamard transform and nega-Hadamard transform. In this paper, we present four new…
In the literature, few constructions of $n$-variable rotation symmetric bent functions have been presented, which either have restriction on $n$ or have algebraic degree no more than $4$. In this paper, for any even integer $n=2m\ge2$, a…
In this article, we provide the first systematic analysis of bent functions $f$ on $\mathbb{F}_2^{n}$ in the Maiorana-McFarland class $\mathcal{MM}$ regarding the origin and cardinality of their $\mathcal{M}$-subspaces, i.e., vector…
We introduce the multiple zeta functions with structures similar to those of symmetric functions such as Schur $P$-, Schur $Q$-, symplectic and orthogonal functions in the representation theory. We first consider their basic properties such…
