An irreducible polynomial over $\Bbb F_q$ is said to be normal over $\Bbb F_q$ if its roots are linearly independent over $\Bbb F_q$. We show that there is a polynomial $h_n(X_1,\dots,X_n)\in\Bbb Z[X_1,\dots,X_n]$, independent of $q$, such…
Recently, Tu, Zeng, Li, and Helleseth considered trinomials of the form $f(X)=X+aX^{q(q-1)+1}+bX^{2(q-1)+1}\in\Bbb F_{q^2}[X]$, where $q$ is even and $a,b\in\Bbb F_{q^2}^*$. They found sufficient conditions on $a,b$ for $f$ to be a…
Let $l$ be a finite field of cardinality $q$ and let $n$ be in $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$. Let $f_1,\ldots,f_n \in l[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ not all constant and consider the evaluation map $f=(f_1,\ldots,f_n) \colon l^n \to l^n$. Set…
Using Stickelberger's theorem on Gauss sums, we show that if $F$ is a planar function on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, then for all non-zero functions $G : \mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$, we have \begin{equation*} d_{\mathsf{alg}}(G \circ…

We show the existence of many infinite classes of permutations over finite fields and bent functions by extending the notion of linear translators, introduced by Kyureghyan [12]. We call these translators Frobenius translators since the…
We study the symmetric function and polynomial combinatorial invariants of Hopf algebras of permutations, posets and graphs. We investigate their properties and the relations among them. In particular, we show that the chromatic symmetric…
A permutation polytope is the convex hull of a group of permutation matrices. In this paper we investigate the combinatorics of permutation polytopes and their faces. As applications we completely classify permutation polytopes in…
Most integers are composite and most univariate polynomials over a finite field are reducible. The Prime Number Theorem and a classical result of Gau{\ss} count the remaining ones, approximately and exactly. For polynomials in two or more…
We study trivariate permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$ extending two APN permutation families of Li--Kaleyski (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 2024) by allowing the scalar parameter to vary over $\mathbb{F}_{2^m}^*$. For \[…
Let $w$ be any word over the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots, q-1\}$, and denote by $h$ either a polynomial of degree $d\geq 1$ or $h: n\mapsto m^n$ for a fixed $m$. Furthermore, denote by $e_q(w;h(n))$ the number of occurrences of $w$ as a subword…

Fourier transform of multivariate orthogonal polynomials on the unit ball are obtained. By using Parseval's identity, a new family of multivariate orthogonal functions are introduced. The results are expressed in terms of the continuous…
We prove that the bilinear Hilbert transform along two polynomials $B_{P,Q}(f,g)(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}f(x-P(t))g(x-Q(t))\frac{dt}{t}$ is bounded from $L^p \times L^q$ to $L^r$ for a large range of $(p,q,r)$, as long as the polynomials $P$…
It is known that the Ehrhart polynomials of cross-polytopes, as well as of pyramids over them, have positive coefficients. We give a combinatorial proof of this fact by showing that a scaled version of the Ehrhart polynomials are generating…
This paper describes an improvement in the upper bound for the magnitude of a coefficient of a term in the chromatic polynomial of a general graph. If $a_r$ is the coefficient of the $q^r$ term in the chromatic polynomial $P(G,q)$, where…
Let $\F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $p=\Char \F_q$. The group $\GL_2(\F_q)$ acts naturally in the set of irreducible polynomials over $\F_q$ of degree at least $2$. In this paper we are interested in the characterization and…
