The Walsh--Hadamard spectrum of a bent function uniquely determines a dual function. The dual of a bent function is also bent. A bent function that is equal to its dual is called a self-dual function. The Hamming distance between a bent…

Orthogonal spreads in orthogonal spaces of type $V^+(2n+2,2)$ produce large numbers of rank $n$ dual hyperovals in orthogonal spaces of type $V^+(2n,2)$. The construction resembles the method for obtaining symplectic spreads in $V(2n,q)$…

A functional equation between the zeta distributions can be obtained from the theory of prehomogeneous vector spaces. We show that the functional equation can be extended from the Schwartz space to certain degenerate principal series.

Let f be a function mapping an n dimensional vector space over GF(p) to GF(p). When p is 2, Bernasconi et al. have shown that there is a correspondence between certain properties of f (e.g., if it is bent) and properties of its associated…

A Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for number fields $K / \mathbb{Q}$ would assert that $dim V_K = ord_{s = 1/2} \zeta_K (s)$ for some vector space functorially attached to $K$. Presently there is no natural candidate for the $V_K$'s.…

In this paper, the relation between binomial Niho bent functions discovered by Dobbertin et al. and o-polynomials that give rise to the Subiaco and Adelaide classes of hyperovals is found. This allows to expand the class of bent functions…

We construct groups in which FV^3(n) != \delta^2(n). This construction also leads to groups G_k, k >= 3 for which \delta^{k}(n) is not subrecursive.

This paper is concerned with complex Banach-space valued functions of the form $$ \hat{f}_k(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta,z)=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} k \theta}f_k(r,z), \qquad r \in [0,\infty), \theta \in \mathbb{T}^1, z \in \mathbb{R}, $$ for some…

This paper studies partitions in the space of antimonotonic boolean functions on sets of n elements. The antimonotonic functions are the antichains of the partially ordered set of subsets. We analyse and characterise a natural partial…

We have generalized the \textsc{Mathematica} function \texttt{Apart} from 1 to $N$ dimension, the generalized function \texttt{\$Apart} can decompose any linear dependent elements in $\mathcal{V}_{x}^*$ to irreducible ones. The elements in…

In the BFA 2023 conference paper, A. Polujan, L. Mariot and S. Picek exhibited the first example of a non-normal but weakly normal bent function in dimension 8. In this note, we present numerical approaches based on the classification of…

A generalised Weber function is given by $\w_N(z) = \eta(z/N)/\eta(z)$, where $\eta(z)$ is the Dedekind function and $N$ is any integer; the original function corresponds to $N=2$. We classify the cases where some power $\w_N^e$ evaluated…

Let $k=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$, and let $c\in \mathfrak{O}_k$ be a square free algebraic integer such that $c\equiv 1~({\rm mod}~{\langle9\rangle})$. Let $\zeta_{k(c^{1/3})}(s)$ be the Dedekind zeta function of the cubic field $k(c^{1/3})$…

We study a new method of constructing Boolean bent functions from cyclotomic mappings. Three generic constructions are obtained by considering different branch functions such as Dillon functions, Niho functions and Kasami functions over…

We investigate shift-invariant transformations, also known as rotation-symmetric vectorial Boolean functions, on $n$ bits that are induced from Boolean functions on $k$ bits, for $k\leq n$. We consider such transformations that are not…

In a tight-binding lattice model with $n$ orbitals (single-particle states) per site, Wannier functions are $n$-component vector functions of position that fall off rapidly away from some location, and such that a set of them in some sense…

We present a functional calculus approach to the study of rates of decay in mean ergodic theorems for bounded strongly continuous operator semigroups. A central role is played by operators of the form $g(A)$, where $-A$ is the generator of…

In this paper, we present some new nonexistence results on $(m,n)$-generalized bent functions, which improved recent results. More precisely, we derive new nonexistence results for general $n$ and $m$ odd or $m \equiv 2 \pmod{4}$, and…

We obtain the following results. For any prime $q$ the minimal Hamming distance between distinct regular $q$-ary bent functions of $2n$ variables is equal to $q^n$. The number of $q$-ary regular bent functions at the distance $q^n$ from the…
