Permutations over $F_{2^{2k}}$ with low differential uniform, high algebraic degree and high nonlinearity are of great cryptographical importance since they can be chosen as the substitution boxes (S-boxes) for many block ciphers. A well…
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 $a\in\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$.…
The $c$-differential uniformity is recently proposed to reflect resistance against some variants of differential attack. Finding functions with low $c$-differential uniformity is attracting attention from many researchers. For even…
We give a large family of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) permutations of finite vector spaces of every odd dimension divisible by three. We also give APN functions that are not bijective on even dimensions and related highly nonlinear…
In this paper, we construct some piecewise defined functions, and study their $c$-differential uniformity. As a by-product, we improve upon several prior results. Further, we look at concatenations of functions with low differential…
In this paper we extend the dichotomy given by Samuelsson and Wold that can be thought of as an analogue of the Wermer maximality theorem in $\mathbb{C}^2$ for certain polynomial polyhedra. We consider complex non-degenerate simply…

In this paper, two new classes of perfect nonlinear functions over $\mathbb{F}_{p^{2m}}$ are proposed, where $p$ is an odd prime. Furthermore, we investigate the nucleus of the corresponding semifields of these functions and show that the…
Block ciphers use S-boxes to create confusion in the cryptosystems. Such S-boxes are functions over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{n}}$. These functions should have low differential uniformity, high nonlinearity, and high algebraic degree in order to…
In this paper we define a notion of partial APNness and find various characterizations and constructions of classes of functions satisfying this condition. We connect this notion to the known conjecture that APN functions modified at a…
Two important problems on almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions are the enumeration and equivalence problems. In this paper, we solve these two problems for any biprojective APN function family by introducing a strong group theoretic…
We investigate permutation polynomials F over finite fields F_{p^n} whose generalized derivative maps x -> F(x + a) - cF(x) are themselves permutations for all nonzero shifts a. This property, termed perfect c-nonlinearity (PcN), represents…
It is well known that a quadratic function defined on a finite field of odd degree is almost bent (AB) if and only if it is almost perfect nonlinear (APN). For the even degree case there is no apparent relationship between the values in the…
Permutation polynomials over finite fields are fundamental objects as they are used in various theoretical and practical applications in cryptography, coding theory, combinatorial design, and related topics. This family of polynomials…
We apply the topology of convergence on compact sets to define unpredictable functions [5, 6]. The topology is metrizable and easy for applications with integral operators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, the existence and…
A new almost perfect nonlinear function (APN) on the finite field GF(2^10) which is not equivalent to any of the previously known APN mappings is constructed. This is the first example of an APN mapping which is not equivalent to a power…
We consider nonlinear integro-differential equations, like the ones that arise from stochastic control problems with purely jump L\`evy processes. We obtain a nonlocal version of the ABP estimate, Harnack inequality, and interior…
We prove new parameterization theorems for sets definable in the structure $\mathbb{R}_{an}$ (i.e. for globally subanalytic sets) which are uniform for definable families of such sets. We treat both $C^r$-parameterization and (mild)…
