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…

Planar functions are of great importance in the constructions of DES-like iterated ciphers, error-correcting codes, signal sets and the area of mathematics. They are defined over finite fields of odd characteristic originally and…

Extending the notion of bounded variation, a function $u \in L_c^1(\mathbb R^n)$ is of bounded fractional variation with respect to some exponent $\alpha$ if there is a finite constant $C \geq 0$ such that the estimate \[ \biggl|\int u(x)…

In this paper, we first present a new secondary construction of bent functions (building new bent functions from two already defined ones). Furthermore, we apply the construction using as initial functions some specific bent functions and…

We focus on the permutation polynomials of the form $L(X)+\Tr_{m}^{3m}(X)^{s}$ over $\F_{q^3}$, where $\F_q$ is the finite field with $q=p^m$ elements, $p$ is a prime number, $m$ is a positive integer, $\Tr_{m}^{3m}$ is the relative trace…

The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be considered as a natural extension of the class of compact metrizable subsets of locally convex spaces, to which the particular results well known for compact sets can be generalized. This class…

Let G be a group of permutations of a denumerable set E. The profile of G is the function phi which counts, for each n, the number phi(n) of orbits of G acting on the n-subsets of E. Counting functions arising this way, and their associated…

We study zeta functions enumerating subalgebras or ideals of Lie algebras over finite field of prime order $\mathbb{F}_p$. We first develop a general blueprint method for computing zeta functions of $\mathbb{F}_p$-Lie algebras, and…

APN functions play a central role as building blocks in the design of many block ciphers, serving as optimal functions to resist differential attacks. One of the most important properties of APN functions is their linearity, which is…

Let $W$ be a finite reflection group. A $W$-invariant function of class~$C^{\infty}$ may be expressed as a functions of class $C^{\infty}$ of the basic invariants. In finite class of differentiability, the situation is not this simple.…

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers, and $f_n(k)$ (resp. $g_n(k)$) be the number of unital subrings (resp. unital irreducible subrings) of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ of index $k$. The numbers $f_n(k)$ are coefficients of certain zeta functions of…

The main purpose of this work is to characterize derivations through functional equations. This work consists of five chapters. In the first one, we summarize the most important notions and results from the theory of functional equations.…

In this paper we study the class $\mathcal{U}$ of functions that are analytic in the open unit disk ${\mathbb D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$, normalized such that $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$ and satisfy \[\left|\left [\frac{z}{f(z)} \right]^{2}f'(z)-1…

Gravitationally collapsed objects are known to be biased tracers of an underlying density contrast. Using symmetry arguments, generalised biasing schemes have recently been developed to relate the halo density contrast $\delta_h$ with the…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…

We define an enumerative function F(n,k,P,m) which is a generalization of binomial coefficients. Special cases of this function are also power function, factorials, rising factorials and falling factorials. The first section of the paper is…

We study generalizations of two classical primary constructions of Boolean bent functions, namely the Maiorana-McFarland ($MM$) class and the (Desarguesian) partial spread ($\mathcal{PS}_{ap}$) class. The construction of bent functions…
