By using the generalized Bernoulli numbers, we deduce new integral representations for the Riemann zeta function at positive odd-integer arguments. The explicit expressions enable us to obtain criteria for the dimension of the vector space…
Bent Boolean functions are important objects in cryptography and coding theory, and there are several general approaches for constructing such functions. Metaheuristics proved to be a strong choice as they can provide many bent functions,…
We study vectorial functions with maximal number of bent components in this paper. We first study the Walsh transform and nonlinearity of $F(x)=x^{2^e}h(\Tr_{2^{2m}/2^m}(x))$, where $e\geq0$ and $h(x)$ is a permutation over $\F_{2^m}$. If…
The classes of n-Wright-convex functions and n-Jensen-convex functions are compared with each other. It is shown that for any odd natural number $n$ the first one is the proper subclass of the second one. To reach this aim new tools…
Investigation of partial multiplace functions by algebraic methods plays an important role in modern mathematics were we consider various operations on sets of functions, which are naturally defined. The basic operation for $n$-place…
Non-overlapping codes are a set of codewords in $\bigcup_{n \ge 2} \mathbb{Z}_q^n$, where $\mathbb{Z}_q = \{0,1,\dots,q-1\}$, such that, the prefix of each codeword is not a suffix of any codeword in the set, including itself; and for…
In a recent article a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a sequence of positive numbers was examined. The analysis of the nonnegativeness of the formal expressions was a key-point to allow to give them a statistical…
In this paper we study the coefficients of the powers of an ordinary generating function and their properties. A new class of functions based on compositions of an integer $n$ is introduced and is termed composita. We present theorems about…
Planar functions are of great importance in the constructions of DES-like iterated ciphers, error-correcting codes, signal sets and the area of mathematics. They are defined over finite fields of odd characteristic originally and…
In the renormalisation analysis of critical phenomena in quasi-periodic systems, a fundamental role is often played by fixed points of functional recurrences of the form \begin{equation*} f_{n}(x) = \sum_{i=1}^\ell a_i(x) f_{n_i}…
The second generalized GK function fields $K_n$ are a recently found family of maximal function fields over the finite field with $q^{2n}$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n \ge 1$ an odd integer. In this paper we construct many…
A classical method of constructing a linear code over $\gf(q)$ with a $t$-design is to use the incidence matrix of the $t$-design as a generator matrix over $\gf(q)$ of the code. This approach has been extensively investigated in the…
In this paper, we present new structures and results on the set $\M_\D$ of mean functions on a given symmetric domain $\D$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$. First, we construct on $\M_\D$ a structure of abelian group in which the neutral element is simply…
The purpose of this paper is to give explicit constructions of vectorial hyper-bent functions in the $\cP\cS_{ap}^{\#}$ class. It seems that the explicit constructions were so far known only for very special cases. To this end, we present a…
Inspired by a recent work of Mesnager, we present several new infinite families of quadratic ternary bent, near-bent and 2-plateaued functions from some known quadratic ternary bent functions. Meanwhile, the distribution of the Walsh…
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…
A Type IV-II Z4-code is a self-dual code over Z4 with the property that all Euclidean weights are divisible by eight and all codewords have even Hamming weight. In this paper we use generalized bent functions for a construction of…
We introduce a method to construct general multivariate positive definite kernels on a nonempty set $X$ that employs a prescribed bounded completely monotone function and special multivariate functions on $X$.\ The method is consistent with…

The set of linear structures of most known balanced Boolean functions is nontrivial. In this paper, some balanced Boolean functions whose set of linear structures is trivial are constructed. We show that any APN function in even dimension…
