We study combinatorial properties of plateaued functions $F \colon \mathbb{F}_p^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}_p^m$. All quadratic functions, bent functions and most known APN functions are plateaued, so many cryptographic primitives rely on…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate the subclass $\mathcal{P}_{p,q}^{\xi ,\kappa}(\tau, \eta)$ of starlike functions with negative coefficients by using the differential operator $\Upsilon_{\tau ,p,q}^{\xi ,\kappa}$. Coefficient…
In this work, we study functions that can be obtained by restricting a vectorial Boolean function $F \colon \mathbb{F}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}_2^n$ to an affine hyperplane of dimension $n-1$ and then projecting the output to an…
In this paper, we define the subclasses $R_{\mu,p}^{\delta}(\alpha;A,B)\ $ and $ P_{\mu,p}^{\delta}(\alpha;A,B)\ $ of analytic functions in the open unit disc of complex plain. Then the neighborhood properties, integral means inequalities…
Based on the screened vertex operators associated with the affine screening operators, we introduce the formal power series f^{hat{gl}_N}(x,p|s,kappa|q,t) which we call the non-stationary Ruijsenaars function. We identify it with the…
Simple asymptotic expansions for the Jacobi functions $P_\nu^{(\alpha, \beta)}(z)$ and $Q_\nu^{(\alpha, \beta)}(z)$ for large degree $\nu$, with fixed parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$, are surprisingly rare in the literature, with only a few…
For each non-constant Boolean function $q$, Klapper introduced the notion of $q$-transforms of Boolean functions. The {\em $q$-transform} of a Boolean function $f$ is related to the Hamming distances from $f$ to the functions obtainable…
We show that the there exists an infinite family of APN functions of the form $F(x)=x^{2^{s}+1} + x^{2^{k+s}+2^k} + cx^{2^{k+s}+1} + c^{2^k}x^{2^k + 2^s} + \delta x^{2^{k}+1}$, over $\gf_{2^{2k}}$, where $k$ is an even integer and…
The vectorial Boolean functions are employed in cryptography to build block coding algorithms. An important criterion on these functions is their resistance to the differential cryptanalysis. Nyberg defined the notion of almost perfect…
In a prior paper \cite{EFRST20}, two of us, along with P. Ellingsen, P. Felke and A. Tkachenko, 1defined a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity, which has the potential of extending…
For a given generalized Nevanlinna function $Q\in N_{\kappa }\left( H \right)$, we study decompositions that satisfy: $Q=Q_{1}+Q_{2}$; $Q_{i}{\in N}_{\kappa_{i}}\left( H \right)$, and $\kappa_{1}+\kappa_{2}=\kappa $, $0\le \kappa_{i}$,…
Boolean functions with good cryptographic criteria when restricted to the set of vectors with constant Hamming weight play an important role in the recent FLIP stream cipher. In this paper, we propose a large class of weightwise perfectly…
Dillon observed that an APN function $F$ over $\mathbb{F}_2^{n}$ with $n$ greater than $2$ must satisfy the condition $\{F(x) + F(y) + F(z) + F(x + y + z) \,:\, x,y,z \in\mathbb{F}_2^n\}= \mathbb{F}_2^n$. Recently, Taniguchi (2023)…
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…
For a given function $F$ from $\mathbb F_{p^n}$ to itself, determining whether there exists a function which is CCZ-equivalent but EA-inequivalent to $F$ is a very important and interesting problem. For example, K\"olsch \cite{KOL21} showed…
Quantum neural networks (QNNs) are an analog of classical neural networks in the world of quantum computing, which are represented by a unitary matrix with trainable parameters. Inspired by the universal approximation property of classical…
Let $\mathbb{F}\subset \mathbb{K}$ be fields with characteristic zero, $n$ be a positive integer and $\kappa\in \mathbb{K}$. In this paper, we determine those monomials $f\colon \mathbb{F}\to \mathbb{K}$ of degree $n$ for which \[ f(x^{2})=…
Negabent functions were introduced as a generalization of bent functions, which have applications in coding theory and cryptography. In this paper, we have extended the notion of negabent functions to the functions defined from…
Whereas the design and properties of bent and plateaued functions have been frequently addressed during the past few decades, there are only a few design methods of so-called 5-valued spectra Boolean functions whose Walsh spectra takes the…
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…
