We consider the vector-valued Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$ that outputs all $n$ monomials of degree $n-1$, i.e., $f_i(x)=\bigwedge_{j\neq i}x_j$, for $n\geq 3$. Boyar and Find have shown that the multiplicative…
Young flattenings, introduced by Landsberg and Ottaviani, give determinantal equations for secant varieties and their non-vanishing provides lower bounds for border ranks of tensors and in particular polynomials. We study monomial-optimal…
An important classification of permutations over $\mathbb{F}_2^m$, suitable for constructing Maiorana-McFarland bent functions on $\mathbb{F}_2^m \times \mathbb{F}_2^m$ with the unique $M$-subspace of maximal dimension, was recently…
In this article, we provide the first systematic analysis of bent functions $f$ on $\mathbb{F}_2^{n}$ in the Maiorana-McFarland class $\mathcal{MM}$ regarding the origin and cardinality of their $\mathcal{M}$-subspaces, i.e., vector…
This paper offers a new and complete description of subnormal solutions of certain non-homogeneous second order periodic linear differential equations first studied by Gundersen and Steinbart in 1994. We have established a previously…
In the setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we study the problem of minimizing the BV-energy in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of functions bounded between two obstacle functions…
The Feichtinger conjecture for exponentials asserts that the following property holds for every fat Cantor subset B of the circle group: the set of restrictions to B of exponential functions can be covered by Riesz sets. In their seminal…
It has been conjectured that there are no homogeneous rotation symmetric bent Boolean functions of degree greater than two. In this paper we begin by proving that sums of short-cycle rotation symmetric bent Boolean functions must contain a…
Exhibiting an explicit Boolean function with a large high-order nonlinearity is an important problem in cryptography, coding theory, and computational complexity. We prove lower bounds on the second-order, third-order, and higher-order…
Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…
We study functions satisfying the composition law $F(xy)+F(x/y)=P(F(x),F(y))$ with a symmetric polynomial combiner $P$. We prove that symmetry together with a quadratic degree bound on $P$ forces a composition law of d'Alembert type. We…
This article establishes a bilinear embedding for second-order divergence-form operators with complex coefficients, characterized by the simultaneous presence of first-order terms and negative potentials. This work provides a further…
Let $D\in\mathbb{N}$, $q\in[2,\infty)$ and $(\mathbb{R}^D,|\cdot|,dx)$ be the Euclidean space equipped with the $D$-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In this article, the authors establish the Fefferman-Stein decomposition of Triebel-Lizorkin…
In part 1 (Chapter 2) we present the basic notions of Loewner theory. Here we use a modern form which was developed by F. Bracci, M. Contreras, S. D\'iaz-Madrigal et al. and which can be applied to certain higher dimensional complex…
Let $1<p\leq \infty$ and let $n\geq 2.$ It was proved independently by C. Calder\'on, R. Coifman and G. Weiss that the dyadic maximal function \begin{equation*}…
We give a further development of the Aichinger-Moosbauer calculus of functional degrees of maps between commutative groups. For any fixed given commutative groups $A$ and $B$, we compute the largest possible finite functional degree that a…
This thesis is about the study of Diophantine equations involving binary recurrent sequences with arithmetic functions. Various Diophantine problems are investigated and new results are found out of this study. Firstly, we study several…
Lin and Chang gave a generating function of convex polyominoes with an $m+1$ by $n+1$ minimal bounding rectangle. Gessel showed that their result implies that the number of such polyominoes is $$ \frac{m+n+mn}{m+n}{2m+2n\choose…
The report studies the generation of ternary bent functions by permuting the circular Vilenkin_Chrestenson spectrum of a known bent function. We call this spectral invariant operations in the spectral domain, in analogy to the spectral…
We show that for any positive integer $d$, there are families of switched linear systems---in fixed dimension and defined by two matrices only---that are stable under arbitrary switching but do not admit (i) a polynomial Lyapunov function…
