Let $n$ be an odd positive integer, $p$ be a prime with $p\equiv3\pmod4$, $d_{1} = {{p^{n}-1}\over {2}} -1 $ and $d_{2} =p^{n}-2$. The function defined by $f_u(x)=ux^{d_{1}}+x^{d_{2}}$ is called the generalized Ness-Helleseth function over…

Let $\gf_{p^n}$ denote the finite field containing $p^n$ elements, where $n$ is a positive integer and $p$ is a prime. The function $f_u(x)=x^{\frac{p^n+3}{2}}+ux^2$ over $\gf_{p^n}[x]$ with $u\in\gf_{p^n}\setminus\{0,\pm1\}$ was recently…

Power functions with low $c$-differential uniformity have been widely studied not only because of their strong resistance to multiplicative differential attacks, but also low implementation cost in hardware. Furthermore, the…

Differential uniformity is a significant concept in cryptography as it quantifies the degree of security of S-boxes respect to differential attacks. Power functions of the form $F(x)=x^d$ with low differential uniformity have been…

Let $F$ be a finite field, let $f$ be a function from $F$ to $F$, and let $a$ be a nonzero element of $F$. The discrete derivative of $f$ in direction $a$ is $\Delta_a f \colon F \to F$ with $(\Delta_a f)(x)=f(x+a)-f(x)$. The differential…

We shall discuss the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for: $f(x,u, Du, D^2u) = \psi(x)$ where $f$ is a "natural" differential operator, with a restricted domain $F$, on a manifold $X$. By "natural" we mean operators that arise intrinsically…

Let $N$ be a positive integer. We say a non-constant rational function $U(x)\in{\mathbb C}(x)$ is $N$-\emph{unital} if all the zeros and poles of both $U(x)$ and $1-U(x)$ are either 0 or $N$-th roots of unity. These functions are called…
