In this paper we characterize the $c$-Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT), $c\neq 0$ (thus, including the classical $c=1$ case), for all monomial function $x^d$ in terms of characters and Weil sums on the finite field~$\F_{p^n}$. We further…
In EUROCRYPT 2018, Cid et al. \cite{BCT2018} introduced a new concept on the cryptographic property of S-boxes: Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT for short) for evaluating the subtleties of boomerang-style attacks. Very recently, BCT and…
Building upon the observation that the newly defined~\cite{EFRST20} concept of $c$-differential uniformity is not invariant under EA or CCZ-equivalence~\cite{SPRS20}, we showed in~\cite{SG20} that adding some appropriate linearized…
We defined in~\cite{EFRST20} a new multiplicative $c$-differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity and we characterized the known perfect nonlinear functions with respect to this new concept, as well as the inverse in any…
Very recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential (and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity) was introduced by Ellingsen \textit{et al} in [C-differentials, multiplicative uniformity and (almost) perfect…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. In this paper we prove that the $c$-Boomerang Uniformity, $c \neq 0$, for all permutation monomials $x^d$, where $d > 1$ and $p \nmid d$, is bounded by $d^2$. Further, we utilize…

The Uniform convergence of double Fourier-Legendre series of function of bounded Harmonic variation and bounded partial $\Lambda $-variation are investigated.
In this paper we define a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity. With this new concept, even for characteristic $2$, there are perfect $c$-nonlinear (PcN) functions. We first…
Recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential cryptanalysis and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al.~\cite{Ellingsen2020}, and then some low differential uniformity functions were…
Feistel Boomerang Connectivity Table (FBCT) is an important cryptanalytic technique on analysing the resistance of the Feistel network-based ciphers to power attacks such as differential and boomerang attacks. Moreover, the coefficients of…
Modifying the binary inverse function in a variety of ways, like swapping two output points has been known to produce a $4$-differential uniform permutation function. Recently, in \cite{Li19} it was shown that this swapped version of the…
Finding functions, particularly permutations, with good differential properties has received a lot of attention due to their varied applications. For instance, in combinatorial design theory, a correspondence of perfect $c$-nonlinear…
Boukerrou et al. (IACR Trans. Symmetric Cryptol. 2020(1), 331-362) introduced the notion of Feistel Boomerang Connectivity Table (FBCT), the Feistel counterpart of the Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT), and the Feistel boomerang uniformity…
Beurling slow variation is generalized to Beurling regular variation. A Uniform Convergence Theorem, not previously known, is proved for those functions of this class that are measurable or have the Baire property. This permits their…
The Feistel Boomerang Connectivity Table and the related notion of $F$-Boomerang uniformity (also known as the second-order zero differential uniformity) has been recently introduced by Boukerrou et al.~\cite{Bouk}. These tools shall…
The theory of regular variation, in its Karamata and Bojani\'c-Karamata/de Haan forms, is long established and makes essential use of the Cauchy functional equation. Both forms are subsumed within the recent theory of Beurling regular…
This article surveys the known results (and not very well-known results) associated with Cantor's pairing function and the Rosenberg-Strong pairing function, including their inverses, their generalizations to higher dimensions, and a…
We extend the study of \emph{melonic} quartic tensor models to models with arbitrary quartic interactions. This extension requires a new version of the loop vertex expansion using several species of intermediate fields and iterated…
Given a finite set of real numbers $A$, the generalised golden ratio is the unique real number $\mathcal{G}(A) > 1$ for which we only have trivial unique expansions in smaller bases, and have non-trivial unique expansions in larger bases.…
