The Eremenko-Lyubich class of transcendental entire functions with a bounded set of singular values has been much studied. We give a new characterisation of this class of functions. We also give a new result regarding direct singularities…
For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…

Let ${\mathcal P}_k$ denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $k$ with real coefficients. Let ${\mathcal P}_{n,k}$ be the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n+k$ having exactly $n+1$ zeros at $0$. Let…
Generalising the concept of a complete permutation polynomial over a finite field, we define completness to level $k$ for $k\ge1$ in fields of odd characteristic. We construct two families of polynomials that satisfy the condition of high…
In a prior paper \cite{EFRST20}, two of us, along with P. Ellingsen, P. Felke and A. Tkachenko, 1defined a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity, which has the potential of extending…
Assume that $n$ is a positive integer, $p_{j}$ ($j=1,2, \cdots, 6)$ are polynomials, $p$ is an irreducible polynomial, and $f$ is an entire function on $\mathbb{C}^{n}.$ Let $ L(f)=\sum_{j=1}^s q_{t_j}f_{z_{t_j}}$ and…
A known characterization for entire functions that preserve all nonnegative matrices of order two is shown to characterize polynomials that preserve nonnegative matrices of order two. Equivalent conditions are derived and used to prove that…
Planar functions over finite fields give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. They were originally defined only in odd characteristic, but recently Zhou introduced a definition in even characteristic which…
We show that the class of completely m-full ideals coincides with the class of componentwise linear ideals in a polynomial ring over an infinite field.
By using the associated and restricted Stirling numbers of the second kind, we give some generalizations of the poly-Bernoulli numbers. We also study their arithmetical and combinatorial properties. As an application, at the end of the…
Planar functions are functions over a finite field that have optimal combinatorial properties and they have applications in several branches of mathematics, including algebra, projective geometry and cryptography. There are two relevant…
We will present many strong partial results towards a classification of exceptional planar/PN monomial functions on finite fields. The techniques we use are the Weil bound, Bezout's theorem, and Bertini's theorem.
We propose an equivalent formula for the higher-order derivatives used in the study of Generalized Almost Perfect Nonlinear functions over an arbitrary finite field of characteristic $p$. The result is obtained by counting the number of…
Recently, a new concept called the $c$-differential uniformity was proposed by Ellingsen et al. (2020), which allows to simplify some types of differential cryptanalysis. Since then, finding functions having low $c$-differential uniformity…
Generalized almost perfect nonlinear (GAPN) functions were defined to satisfy some generalizations of basic properties of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions for even characteristic. In this paper, we study monomial GAPN functions for…
We describe the class of n-variable polynomial functions that satisfy Acz\'el's bisymmetry property over an arbitrary integral domain of characteristic zero with identity.
In this paper, we establish some new inequalities of Ostrowski's type for functions whose derivatives in absolute value are the class of s-convex. Some applications for special means of real numbers are also provided. Finally, some error…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. For $q$ odd, we investigate the planarity over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the family $$ f_{E,A,B,C,D}(X) := EX^2+ AX^{q+1}+ BX^{q^2+1}+CX^{2q} +DX^{2q^2}\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[X]. $$ Using…
