We consider a semilinear heat equation involving a forcing term which depends only on the space variable. To start with, the existence of a local mild solution is proved through an application of the Banach fixed-point theorem. With the…

We consider the boomerang uniformity of an infinite class of (locally-APN) power maps and show that its boomerang uniformity over the finite field $\F_{2^n}$ is $2$ and $4$, when $n \equiv 0 \pmod 4$ and $n \equiv 2 \pmod 4$, respectively.…

The dual of the Kasami code of length $q^2-1$, with $q$ a power of $2$, is constructed by concatenating a cyclic MDS code of length $q+1$ over $F_q$ with a Simplex code of length $q-1$. This yields a new derivation of the weight…

A new polynomial identity is found for Dickson polynomials in characteristic 2. The identity is used to prove that the two polynomials $x^{q+1}+x+1/a$ and $C(x)+a$ have the same splitting field over $F$, where $F$ is a field of…

The article is devoted to approximate, global and along curves differentiability of functions over non-archimedean infinite fields with non-trivial valuations. Fields with zero and non-zero characteristics are considered. Spaces of…

We propose an explicit representation of central $(2k+1)$-nomial coefficients in terms of finite sums over trigonometric constructs. The approach utilizes the diagonalization of circulant boolean matrices and is generalizable to all…

Motivated by the Maximum Theorem for convex functions (in the setting of linear spaces) and for subadditive functions (in the setting of Abelian semigroups), we establish a Maximum Theorem for the class of generalized convex functions,…

Theorem A. Let $x_1,...,x_{2k+1}$ be unit vectors in a normed plane. Then there exist signs $\epsi_1,...,\epsi_{2k+1}\in\{\pm 1\}$ such that $\norm{\sum_{i=1}^{2k+1}\epsi_i x_i}\leq 1$. We use the method of proof of the above theorem to…

In 2018, Pott, at al. have studied in [IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. Volume: 64, Issue: 1, 2018] the maximum number of bent components of vectorial function. They have presented serval nice results and suggested several open…

After a brief review of existing results on permutation binomials of finite fields, we introduce the notion of equivalence among permutation binomials (PBs) and describe how to bring a PB to its canonical form under equivalence. We then…

The title equations were originally solved by making use of certain results on hypergeometric functions. Aside from these results, the classifications of the solutions uses very elementary arithmetic. The goal of this is to show that these…

Let K be an infinite field such that its characteristic is not 2. We show that, for every $A\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $\mathrm{rank}(A)\geq n/2$, there exists $B\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $B$ is similar to $A$ and $A+B$ is…

We study solvability of the Diophantine equation \begin{equation*} \frac{n}{2^{n}}=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\frac{a_{i}}{2^{a_{i}}}, \end{equation*} in integers $n, k, a_{1},\ldots, a_{k}$ satisfying the conditions $k\geq 2$ and $a_{i}<a_{i+1}$ for…

Explicit expressions for the hypergeometric series ${}_2F_1(-n, a; 2a\pm j;2)$ and ${}_2F_1(-n, a; -2n\pm j;2)$ for positive integer $n$ and arbitrary integer $j$ are obtained with the help of generalizations of Kummer's second and third…

Let $p,x$ be real numbers, and $s$ be a complex number, with $\Re(s)>1-r$, $p\geq 1$, and $x+1>0$. The zeta function $Z^{\bf\alpha}_p(s;x)$ is defined by $$ Z^{\bf\alpha}_p(s;x) =\frac{1}{\Gamma(s)}\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-xt}}…

We establish an effective Bertini-type theorem for hypersurfaces $X_f \colon f = 0$ defined over a finite field $k$ for which $f$ has no linear factors over the algebraic closure $\overline{k}$. Given a line $L$ defined over $k$ and a…
