We introduce a method based on Bezout's theorem on intersection points of two projective plane curves, for determining the nonlinearity of some classes of quadratic functions on $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}}$. Among those are the functions of…

Let $F_{BC}(\lambda,k;t)$ be the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function of type BC with multiplicities $k=(k_1,k_2,k_3)$ and weighted half sum $\rho(k)$ of positive roots. We prove that $F_{BC}(\lambda+\rho(k),k;t)$ converges for…

Given a field $F$ of $\operatorname{char}(F)=2$, we define $u^n(F)$ to be the maximal dimension of an anisotropic form in $I_q^n F$. For $n=1$ it recaptures the definition of $u(F)$. We study the relations between this value and the symbol…

We study the entire functions $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k z^k, a_k>0,$ with non-monotonic second quotients of Taylor coefficients, namely, such that $\frac{a_{2m-1}^2}{a_{2m-2}a_{2m}} = a>1$ and $\frac{a_{2m}^2}{a_{2m-1}a_{2m+1}} = b>1$…

A Boolean function of n bits is balanced if it takes the value 1 with probability 1/2. We exhibit a balanced Boolean function with a randomized evaluation procedure (with probability 0 of making a mistake) so that on uniformly random…

We obtain results for the following question where $m\ge 1$ and $n\ge 2$ are integers. {\bf Question.} For which continuous functions $f\colon [0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ does there exist a continuous function $\phi\colon (0,1)\to (0,\infty)$…

$2$-to-$1$ mappings over finite fields play an important role in symmetric cryptography, in particular in the constructions of APN functions, bent functions, semi-bent functions and so on. Very recently, Mesnager and Qu \cite{MQ2019}…

The partition function of 2d conformal field theory is a modular invariant function. It is known that the partition function of a holomorphic CFT whose central charge is a multiple of 24 is a polynomial in the Klein function. In this paper,…

In this article, the dynamics of a one-parameter family of functions $f_{\lambda}(z) = \frac{\sin{z}}{z^2 + \lambda},$ $\lambda>0$, are studied. It shows the existence of parameters $0< \lambda_{1}< \lambda_{2}$ such that bifurcations occur…

In this short note we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem for the torsion function: let $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose torsion function $u$ (i.e. the solution to $\Delta u=-1$ in $\Omega$,…

Vectorial dual-bent functions have recently attracted some researchers' interest as they play a significant role in constructing partial difference sets, association schemes, bent partitions and linear codes. In this paper, we further study…

Maximum nonlinear functions on finite fields are widely used in cryptography because the coordinate functions have large distance to linear functions. More precisely, the Hamming distance to the characteristic functions of hyperplanes is…
