I consider ageing behaviour in two exactly solvable reaction-diffusion systems. Ageing exponents and scaling functions are determined. I discuss in particular a case in which the equality of two critical exponents, known from systems with…
An algebraic structure with two constants and one ternary operation, which is not completely commutative, is put forward to accommodate ternary Boolean algebras. When the ternary operation is interpreted as Church's conditioned disjunction,…
In a recent work with Kindler and Wimmer we proved an invariance principle for the slice for low-influence, low-degree functions. Here we provide an alternative proof for general low-degree functions, with no constraints on the influences.…
Consistent Hashing functions are widely used for load balancing across a variety of applications. However, the original presentation and typical implementations of Consistent Hashing rely on randomised allocation of hash codes to keys which…
An operational approach to the study of computation based on correlations considers black-boxes with one-bit inputs and outputs, controlled by a limited classical computer capable only of performing sums modulo-2. In this setting, it was…

Items in a test are often used as a basis for making decisions and such tests are therefore required to have good psychometric properties, like unidimensionality. In many cases the sum score is used in combination with a threshold to decide…
Cross-spectral analysis is a mathematical tool for extracting the power spectral density of a correlated signal from two time series in the presence of uncorrelated interfering signals. We demonstrate and explain a set of conditions where…
Rotation symmetric Boolean functions represent an interesting class of Boolean functions as they are relatively rare compared to general Boolean functions. At the same time, the functions in this class can have excellent properties, making…
Vectorial Boolean functions are crucial building-blocks in symmetric ciphers. Different known attacks on block ciphers have resulted in diverse cryptographic criteria for vectorial Boolean functions, such as differential uniformity and…
Linear functions of many independent random variables lead to classical noises (white, Poisson, and their combinations) in the scaling limit. Some singular stochastic flows and some models of oriented percolation involve very nonlinear…
Maximum nonlinear functions on finite fields are widely used in cryptography because the coordinate functions have large distance to linear functions. More precisely, the Hamming distance to the characteristic functions of hyperplanes is…

In 2007, Carlet and Ding introduced two parameters, denoted by $Nb_F$ and $NB_F$, quantifying respectively the balancedness of general functions $F$ between finite Abelian groups and the (global) balancedness of their derivatives $D_a…
Transverse beam echoes can be excited with a single dipole kick followed by a single quadrupole kick. They have been used to measure diffusion in hadron beams and have other diagnostic capabilities. Here we develop theories of the…
