We show that the graph of a bent function is a Salem set in an appropriate sense. We also establish a simple result that quantifies redundancies in the difference operators of a function, which applies to bent functions over fields of odd…
We introduce dual Hopf algebras which simultaneously combine the concepts of the k-Schur function theory with the quasi-symmetric Schur function theory. We construct dual basis of these Hopf algebras with remarkable properties.
We obtain the following results. For any prime $q$ the minimal Hamming distance between distinct regular $q$-ary bent functions of $2n$ variables is equal to $q^n$. The number of $q$-ary regular bent functions at the distance $q^n$ from the…
The article is devoted to holomorphic and meromorphic functions of quaternion and octonion variables. New classes of quasi-conformal and quasi-meromorphic mappings are defined and investigated. Properties of such functions such as their…
In this paper we study those bent functions which are linear on elements of spreads, their connections with ovals and line ovals, and we give descriptions of their dual bent functions. In particular, we give a geometric characterization of…
Drawing inspiration from Nyberg's paper~\cite{Nyb91} on perfect nonlinearity and the $c$-differential notion we defined in~\cite{EFRST20}, in this paper we introduce the concept of $c$-differential bent functions in two different ways (thus…
Four families of special functions, depending on n variables, are studied. We call them symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate sine and cosine functions. They are given as determinants or antideterminants of matrices, whose matrix…
In the literature, few $n$-variable rotation symmetric bent functions have been constructed. In this paper, we present two infinite classes of rotation symmetric bent functions on $\mathbb{F}_2^{n}$ of the two forms: {\rm (i)}…
Bent functions are Boolean functions that are maximally nonlinear. They can be represented as bent squares, i.e., square matrices for which each row and each column is the Walsh spectrum of a Boolean function. Using this representation, it…
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…
Associated to any affine space A endowed with a metric structure of arbitrary signature we consider the space of affine functionals operating on the space of quadratic functions of A. On this functional space we characterize a symmetric…
We construct bases of quasi-symmetric functions whose product rule is given by the shuffle of binary words, as for multiple zeta values in their integral representations, and then extend the construction to the algebra of free…
Self-similar symmetric $\alpha$-stable, $\alpha\in(0,2)$, mixed moving averages can be related to nonsingular flows. By using this relation and the structure of the underlying flows, one can decompose self-similar mixed moving averages into…
Every Boolean bent function $f$ can be written either as a concatenation $f=f_1||f_2$ of two complementary semi-bent functions $f_1,f_2$; or as a concatenation $f=f_1||f_2||f_3||f_4$ of four Boolean functions $f_1,f_2,f_3,f_4$, all of which…
The only known example of an almost perfect nonlinear (APN) permutation in even dimension was obtained by applying CCZ-equivalence to a specific quadratic APN function. Motivated by this result, there have been numerous recent attempts to…
This paper presents a noncommutative theory of symmetric functions, based on the notion of quasi-determinant. We begin with a formal theory, corresponding to the case of symmetric functions in an infinite number of independent variables.…
In this paper we offer some new identities associated with mock theta functions and establish new Bailey pairs related to indefinite quadratic forms. We believe our proof is instructive use of changing base of Bailey pairs, and offers new…

We prove some basic properties of quasinearly subharmonic functions and quasinearly subharmonic functions in the narrow sense.
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…
