In this paper, we show that the difference between the number of parts in the odd partitions of $n$ and the number of parts in the distinct partitions of $n$ satisfies Euler's recurrence relation for the partition function $p(n)$ when $n$…

In his 1984 Memoir of the American Mathematical Society, George Andrews defined two families of functions, $\phi_k(n)$ and $c\phi_k(n),$ which enumerate two types of combinatorial objects which Andrews called generalized Frobenius…

In this article a procedure to construct bent functions from $\F_{p^n}$ to $\F_p$ by merging plateaued functions which are bent on ($n-2$)-dimensional subspaces of $\F_{p^n}$ is presented. Taking advantage of such classes of plateaued…

We classify the Boolean degree $1$ functions of $k$-spaces in a vector space of dimension $n$ (also known as Cameron-Liebler classes) over the field with $q$ elements for $n \geq n_0(k, q)$. This also implies that two-intersecting sets with…

Let q be an odd positive integer and P \in F2[z] be of order q and such that P(0) = 1. We denote by A = A(P) the unique set of positive integers satisfying \sum_{n=0}^\infty p(A, n) z^n \equiv P(z) (mod 2), where p(A,n) is the number of…

We prove that generalized exponential splitting methods making explicit use of commutators of the vector fields are limited to order four when only real coefficients are admitted. This generalizes the restriction to order two for classical…

We study the properties of a function $\psi(z, q)$ (the generalized polygamma function), intimately connected with the Hurwitz zeta function and defined for complex values of the variables $z$ and $q$, which is entire in the variable $z$…

A one to one correspondence between regular generalized bent functions from $\F_2^n$ to $\Z_{2^m},$ and $m-$tuples of Boolean bent functions is established. This correspondence maps self-dual (resp. anti-self-dual) generalized bent…

In this paper we define a class of Boolean and generalized Boolean functions defined on $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with values in $\mathbb{Z}_q$ (mostly, we consider $q=2^k$), which we call landscape functions (whose class containing generalized…

In 2008, Langevin and Leander determined the dual function of three classes of monomial bent functions with the help of Stickelberger's theorem: Dillon, Gold and Kasami. In their paper, they proposed one very strong condition such that…

In this paper, we formulate the notion of split elements of a unipotent class in a connected reductive group $G$. Generalized Green functions of $G$ can be computed by using Lusztig's algorithm, if split elements exist for any unipotent…

Bent functions, which are maximally nonlinear Boolean functions with even numbers of variables and whose Hamming distance to the set of all affine functions equals $2^{n-1}\pm 2^{\frac{n}{2}-1}$, were introduced by Rothaus in 1976 when he…

It has been an active research issue for many years to construct new bent functions. For $k$ odd with $\gcd(n, k)=1$, and $a\in\mathbb{F}_{3^n}^{*}$, the function $f(x)=Tr(ax^{\frac{3^k+1}{2}})$ is weakly regular bent over…

We consider several types of non-existence theorems for functors. For example, there are no nontrivial functors from the category of groups (or the category of pointed sets, or vector spaces) to any small category. Another type of questions…

Recently Nikodem, Rajba and W\k{a}sowicz compared the classes of n-Wright-convex functions and n-Jensen-convex functions by showing that the first one is a proper subclass of the latter one, whenever n is an odd natural number. Till now the…

We construct the generalized $\beta$ and $(q,t)$-deformed partition functions through $W$ representations, where the expansions are respectively with respect to the generalized Jack and Macdonald polynomials labeled by $N$-tuple of Young…

We propose a unified approach to $q$-special functions, which are degenerations of basic hypergeometric functions ${}_2\phi_1(a,b;c;q,x)$. We obtain a list of seven different class of $q$-special functions: ${}_2\phi_1, {}_1\phi_1$, two…

We study the number $p(n,t)$ of partitions of $n$ with difference $t$ between largest and smallest parts. Our main result is an explicit formula for the generating function $P_t(q) := \sum_{n \ge 1} p(n,t) \, q^n$. Somewhat surprisingly,…

Let $0<p<\infty$, $0<q\leq\infty$, and $s\in\mathbb{R}$. We introduce a new type of generalized Besov-type spaces $B_{p,q}^{s,\varphi}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and generalized Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces $F_{p,q}^{s,\varphi}(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $\psi$ a non-zero element of $\mathbb{F}_q$, and $n$ an integer $\geq 3$ prime to $q$. The aim of this article is to show that the zeta function of the projective variety over…
