Let $D$ be a domain in the complex plane $\mathbb C$. It follows from first part of our work that if a non-zero holomorphic function $f$ on $D$ vanishes on a sequence ${\sf Z}\subset D$ and satisfies $|f|\leq M$ on $D$, where $M$ is a…

An involution over finite fields is a permutation polynomial whose inverse is itself. Owing to this property, involutions over finite fields have been widely used in applications such as cryptography and coding theory. As far as we know,…

A substitution box (S-box) in a symmetric primitive is a mapping $F$ that takes $k$ binary inputs and whose image is a binary $m$-tuple for some positive integers $k$ and $m$, which is usually the only nonlinear element of the most modern…

In this paper we present a new class of perfect nonlinear %Dembowski-Ostrom polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{p^{2k}}$ for any odd prime $p$. In addition, we show that the new perfect nonlinear functions are CCZ-inequivalent to all the…

This paper is concerned with the convergence of a series associated with a certain version of the convexification method. That version has been recently developed by the research group of the first author for solving coefficient inverse…

The Fej\'{e}r-Riesz spectral factorization lemma, which represents a nonnegative trigonometric polynomial as the squared modulus of a trigonometric polynomial, was extended by Ahiezer to factorize certain entire functions and by Helson and…

Analogous to the use of sums of squares of certain real-valued special functions to prove the reality of the zeros of the Bessel functions J_\alpha(z) when \alpha \ge -1, confluent hypergeometric functions {}_0F_1(c; z) when c > 0 or 0 > c…

Our paper introduces a novel method for calculating the inverse $\mathcal{Z}$-transform of rational functions. Unlike some existing approaches that rely on partial fraction expansion and involve dividing by $z$, our method allows for the…

It is known that crooked functions can be used to construct many interesting combinatorial objects, and a quadratic function is crooked if and only if it is almost perfect nonlinear (APN). In this paper, we introduce two infinite classes of…

Assume $n=2m\geq 2$ and let $F(x)=x^{d_1}+x^{d_2}$ be a binomial vectorial function over $\F_{2^n}$ possessing the maximal number (i.e. $2^n-2^m$) of bent components. Suppose the $2$-adic Hamming weights $\wt_2(d_1)$ and $\wt_2(d_2)$ are…

We prove a Nash-Moser type inverse function theorem in Frechet spaces for functions with approximate inverses, allowing for a loss of derivatives proportional to $n$ in the way of Lojasiewicz and Zehnder.

We prove, under certain conditions on $(\alpha,\beta)$, that each Schwartz function $f$ such that $f(\pm n^{\alpha}) = \hat{f}(\pm n^{\beta}) = 0, \forall n \ge 0$ must vanish identically, complementing a series of recent results involving…

For any block of a finite group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$ which has dihedral, semidihedral, or generalized quaternion defect groups, we determine explicitly the decomposition of the associated diagonal…

It is known that the Funk transform (the Funk-Radon transform) is invertible in the class of even (symmetric) continuous functions defined on the unit 2-sphere S^2. In this article, for the reconstruction of f from C(S^2) (can be non-even),…

In the paper, properties of antisymmetric orbit functions are reviewed and further developed. Antisymmetric orbit functions on the Euclidean space $E_n$ are antisymmetrized exponential functions. Antisymmetrization is fulfilled by a Weyl…

The Jacobian conjecture in dimension $n$ asserts that any polynomial endomorphism of $n$-dimensional affine space over a field of zero characteristic, with the Jacobian equal 1, is invertible. The Dixmier conjecture in rank $n$ asserts that…

Any even function defined on 2-sphere is reconstructed from its integrals over big circles by means of the classical Funk formula. For the non-geodesic Funk transform on the sphere of arbitrary dimension, there is the explicit inversion…
