The $2$-layer drawing model is a well-established paradigm to visualize bipartite graphs. Several beyond-planar graph classes have been studied under this model. Surprisingly, however, the fundamental class of $k$-planar graphs has been…

We present calculations of structure functions using a renormalization scheme consistent expansion which is leading order in both ln(1/x) and \alpha_s(Q^2). There is no factorization scheme dependence, and the ``physical anomalous…

Permutation polynomials (PPs) of the form $(x^{q} -x + c)^{\frac{q^2 -1}{3}+1} +x$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ were presented by Li, Helleseth and Tang [Finite Fields Appl. 22 (2013) 16--23]. More recently, we have constructed PPs of the form…

In this paper we define a $\mathbf{QP}^1$-valued class function on the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_{g,2}$ of a surface $\Sigma_{g,2}$ of genus $g$ with two boundary components. Let $E$ be a $\Sigma_{g,2}$ bundle over a pair of pants…

In this paper we introduce the study of quantum boolean functions, which are unitary operators f whose square is the identity: f^2 = I. We describe several generalisations of well-known results in the theory of boolean functions, including…

Pickands dependence functions characterize bivariate extreme value copulas. In this paper, we study the class of polynomial Pickands functions. We provide a solution for the characterization of such polynomials of degree at most $m+2$,…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We prove that for $m\equiv1\mod p$, $x^m$ is perfectly nonlinear over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ for infinitely many $n$ if and only if $m$ is of the form $p^l+1$, $l\in\mathbb{N}$. First, we study singularities of…

Let $p>3$ and consider a prime power $q=p^h$. We completely characterize permutation polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ of the type $f_{a,b}(X) = X(1 + aX^{q(q-1)} + bX^{2(q-1)}) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^2}[X]$. In particular, using connections…

We introduce a class of functionals on the space of rapidly decreasing sequences $s$, called $\mathcal{F}_s$-functionals, defined as decomposable sums of quadratic and convex terms with quadratic growth. We prove that such functionals…

In this paper we define a class of Boolean and generalized Boolean functions defined on $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with values in $\mathbb{Z}_q$ (mostly, we consider $q=2^k$), which we call landscape functions (whose class containing generalized…

Let $F_{q}$ be a finite field of cardinality $q$. A polynomial over finite field $F_{q}$ of the form $\sum_{i,j}a_{ij}x^{p^{i}+p^{j}}$ is called a Dembowski-Ostrom (DO) polynomial. The Dembowski-Ostrom conjecture says that a planar…

Let $\mathscr{Q}(m,q)$ and $\mathscr{S}(m,q)$ be the sets of quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms on an $m$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$, respectively. The orbits of $\mathscr{Q}(m,q)$ and $\mathscr{S}(m,q)$ under a…

We consider overdetermined problems related to the fractional capacity. In particular we study $s$-harmonic functions defined in unbounded exterior sets or in bounded annular sets, and having a level set parallel to the boundary. We first…

We prove a version of both Jacobi's and Montel's Theorems for the case of continuous functions defined over the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. In particular, we prove that, if \[ \Delta_{h_0}^{m+1}f(x)=0 \ \ \text{for all}…

Planar commutative n-complex numbers of the form u=x_0+h_1x_1+h_2x_2+...+h_{n-1}x_{n-1} are introduced in an even number n of dimensions, the variables x_0,...,x_{n-1} being real numbers. The planar n-complex numbers can be described by the…

It is a common knowledge that the integer functions definable in simply typed lambda-calculus are exactly the extended polynomials. This is indeed the case when one interprets integers over the type (p->p)->p->p where p is a base type…

Let $p>3$ be a prime. We show that, for each integer $d$ with $p \leq d \leq 2(p-1)$, there exists a generalized almost perfect nonlinear (GAPN) binomial or trinomial over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$ of algebraic degree $d$. We start by deriving…
