Let $F$ be a function from $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ to itself and $\delta$ a positive integer. $F$ is called zero-difference $\delta$-balanced if the equation $F(x+a)-F(x)=0$ has exactly $\delta$ solutions for all non-zero $a\in\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$.…

This paper continues an earlier work on the structure of solutions to two classes of functional equation. Let $Z$ be a compact Abelian group and $U_1$, \ldots, $U_k \leq Z$ be closed subgroups. Given $f:Z\to\mathbb{T}$ and $w \in Z$, one…

Perfect nonlinear functions from a finite group $G$ to another one $H$ are those functions $f: G \rightarrow H$ such that for all nonzero $\alpha \in G$, the derivative $d_{\alpha}f: x \mapsto f(\alpha x) f(x)^{-1}$ is balanced. In the case…

Consider a compact Abelian group $Z$ and closed subgroups $U_1$, \ldots, $U_k \leq Z$. Let $\mathbb{T} := \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. This paper examines two kinds of functional equation for measurable functions $Z\to \mathbb{T}$. First, given…

We say that a function $\alpha(x)$ belongs to the set ${\bf A}^{(\gamma)}$ if it has an asymptotic expansion of the form $\alpha(x)\sim \sum^\infty_{i=0}\alpha_ix^{\gamma-i}$ as $x\to\infty$, which can be differentiated term by term…

A generic method to construct zero-difference functions (ZDFs) on algebraic rings is proposed in this paper. Then this method is used over some rings $\mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$, where $p$ is a prime number and $k\ge 2$ is a positive integer, and…

We will say that an Abelian group $\Gamma$ of order $n$ has the $m$-\emph{zero-sum-partition property} ($m$-\textit{ZSP-property}) if $m$ divides $n$, $m\geq 2$ and there is a partition of $\Gamma$ into pairwise disjoint subsets $A_1,…

Difference balanced functions from $F_{q^n}^*$ to $F_q$ are closely related to combinatorial designs and naturally define $p$-ary sequences with the ideal two-level autocorrelation. In the literature, all existing such functions are…

Consider a_1,a_2,...,a_n, arbitrary elements of R. We characterize those real functions f that decompose into the sum of a_j-periodic functions, i.e., f=f_1+...+f_n with D_{a_j}f(x):=f(x+a_j)-f(x)=0. We show that f has such a decomposition…

A function $f\in \mathcal{A}_1$ is said to be stable with respect to $g\in \mathcal{A}_1 $ if \begin{align*} \frac{s_n(f(z))}{f(z)} \prec \frac{1}{g(z)}, \qquad z\in\mathbb{D}, \end{align*} holds for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ where…

It is well-known that the functions $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ whose translates along a lattice $\Lambda$ form a tiling, can be completely characterized in terms of the zero set of their Fourier transform. We construct an example of a…

We define a switch function to be a function from an interval to $\{1,-1\}$ with a finite number of sign changes. (Special cases are the Walsh functions.) By a topological argument, we prove that, given $n$ real-valued functions, $f_1,…
