We show that many quadratic binomial functions on a finite field of characteristic 2 are not APN infinitely often. This is of interest in the light of recent discoveries of new families of quadratic binomial APN functions. The proof uses…

In this paper, we present a construction of linear codes over $\f_{2^t}$ from Boolean functions, which is a generalization of Ding's method \cite[Theorem 9]{Ding15}. Based on this construction, we give two classes of linear codes…

We study a new class of functions that arise naturally in quaternionic analysis, we call them "quasi regular functions". Like the well-known quaternionic regular functions, these functions provide representations of the quaternionic…

We show that the set of Hilbert functions $P(m)=\chi(mK_\mathcal{F})$ of 2-dimensional foliated canonical models with fixed $K_\mathcal{F}^2$, $K_\mathcal{F} \cdot K_X$ and $i_\mathbb{Q}(\mathcal{F})$ is finite. As a consequence, we deduce…

We extend the well-known Shannon decomposition of Boolean functions to more general classes of functions. Such decompositions, which we call pivotal decompositions, express the fact that every unary section of a function only depends upon…

Let $P_{2k}$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $2k$ and assume that there exist $C>0$, $D>0$ and $\alpha \ge 0$ such that \begin{equation*} \left\langle P_{2k}f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})}\geq \frac{1}{C\left(…

Generalized bent (gbent) functions from an $n$-variable Boolean space to $\mathbb{Z}_{2^k}$ are central in cryptography and sequence design. Instead of the usual binary decomposition, we introduce a $2^\ell$-adic representation, for $k=\ell…

In this paper, we define finitely additive, probability and modular functions over semiring-like structures. We investigate finitely additive functions with the help of complemented elements of a semiring. We also generalize some classical…

We investigate properties of ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions. First, we discuss the coefficient estimates for ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions. In particular, we obtain Heinz's inequality for ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions,…

We discuss the classes $\fC$, $\fM$, and $\fS$ of analytic functions that can be realized as the Liv\v{s}ic characteristic functions of a symmetric densely defined operator $\dot A$ with deficiency indices $(1,1)$, the Weyl-Titchmarsh…

We prove that function fields of varieties of dimension at least two over an algebraic closure of a finite field are determined, modulo purely inseparable extensions, by the quotient by the second term in the lower central series of their…

The characteristic polynomial plays an important role in study of hyperplane arrangements. There are several refinements of the characteristic polynomial. One of them is the coboundary polynomial defined by Crapo. Another refinement is the…

We consider the class of integral operators $Q_\f$ on $L^2(\R_+)$ of the form $(Q_\f f)(x)=\int_0^\be\f (\max\{x,y\})f(y)dy$. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions on $\phi$ to insure that $Q_{\phi}$ is bounded, compact, or in the…

Let $k[X] = k[x_{i,j}: i = 1,..., m; j = 1,..., n]$ be the polynomial ring in $m n$ variables $x_{i,j}$ over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. Denote by $I_2(X)$ the ideal generated by the $2 \times 2$ minors of the generic $m \times…

Recently, there emerges different versions of beta function and hypergeometric functions containing extra parameters. Gaining enlightenment from these ideas, we will first introduce a new extension of generalized hypergeometric function and…

We extend a recent analysis of the $q$-states Potts model on an ensemble of random planar graphs with $p\leqslant q$ allowed, equally weighted, spins on a connected boundary. In this paper we explore the $(q<4,p\leqslant q)$ parameter space…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

This paper studies a class of Koebe-type harmonic quasiconformal functions. It is motivated by the shear construction of Clunie and Sheil-Small [Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. Ser. A I Math. 9: 3--25, 1984] and the harmonic quasiconformal Koebe…

Binary functions are a generalisation of the cocircuit spaces of binary matroids to arbitrary functions. Every rank function is assigned a binary function, and the deletion and contraction operations of binary functions generalise matroid…

Our objective in this paper is to introduce and investigate a newly-constructed subclass of normalized analytic and bi-univalent functions by means of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. Upper bounds for the second and third…
