Many underlying structural and functional factors that determine the fault behavior of a combinational network, are not yet fully understood. In this paper, we show that there exists a large class of Boolean functions, called root…
In this paper we define the (edge-weighted) Cayley graph associated to a generalized Boolean function, introduce a notion of strong regularity and give several of its properties. We show some connections between this concept and generalized…
In this paper we prove that generalized bent (gbent) functions defined on $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$ with values in $\mathbb{Z}_{2^k}$ are regular, and find connections between the (generalized) Walsh spectrum of these functions and their components.…
Drawing inspiration from Nyberg's paper~\cite{Nyb91} on perfect nonlinearity and the $c$-differential notion we defined in~\cite{EFRST20}, in this paper we introduce the concept of $c$-differential bent functions in two different ways (thus…
Linear codes with few weights have applications in consumer electronics, communication, data storage system, secret sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. This paper first generalizes the method of…
The set of linear structures of most known balanced Boolean functions is nontrivial. In this paper, some balanced Boolean functions whose set of linear structures is trivial are constructed. We show that any APN function in even dimension…
Boolean functions with strong cryptographic properties, such as high nonlinearity and algebraic degree, are important for the security of stream and block ciphers. These functions can be designed using algebraic constructions or…
We obtain new non-existence results of generalized bent functions from \ZZ^n_q to \ZZ_q (called type [n,q]). The first case is a class of types where q=2p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}. The second case contains two types [1 <= n <= 3, 2 * 31^e]$ and [1…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully on a finite set $X$. As a natural generalization of the perfect nonlinearity of Boolean functions, the $G$-bentness and $G$-perfect nonlinearity of functions on $X$ are studied by Poinsot…
In the paper new representations are obtained for duals and dual hulls of the classes of analytic functions. The Ruscheweyh duality principle is shown to hold under somewhat weaker assumptions. For a compact class of functions its subclass…
It has been conjectured that there are no homogeneous rotation symmetric bent Boolean functions of degree greater than two. In this paper we begin by proving that sums of short-cycle rotation symmetric bent Boolean functions must contain a…
This paper investigates certain classes of entire functions in C^n that, together with their partial derivatives, share a finite set consisting of three elements. By employing normality criteria, we study the behaviour of such functions and…
We study vectorial functions with maximal number of bent components in this paper. We first study the Walsh transform and nonlinearity of $F(x)=x^{2^e}h(\Tr_{2^{2m}/2^m}(x))$, where $e\geq0$ and $h(x)$ is a permutation over $\F_{2^m}$. If…
In the literature, few $n$-variable rotation symmetric bent functions have been constructed. In this paper, we present two infinite classes of rotation symmetric bent functions on $\mathbb{F}_2^{n}$ of the two forms: {\rm (i)}…
Several nonexistence results on generalized bent functions $f:Z_{2}^{n} \rightarrow Z_{m}$ presented by using some knowledge on cyclotomic number fields and their imaginary quadratic subfields.
We present a construction of partial spread bent functions using subspaces generated by linear recurring sequences (LRS). We first show that the kernels of the linear mappings defined by two LRS have a trivial intersection if and only if…
Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…
Zhou 2013 introduced modified planar functions to describe $(2^n,2^n,2^n,1)$ relative difference sets $R$ as a graph of a function on the finite field $\F_{2^n}$, and pointed out that projections of $R$ are difference sets that can be…
It is disproved the Tokareva's conjecture that any balanced boolean function of appropriate degree is a derivative of some bent function. This result is based on new upper bounds for the numbers of bent and plateaued functions.
We provide some applications of a polynomial criterion for difference sets. These include counting the difference sets with specified parameters in terms of Hilbert functions, in particular a count of bent functions. We also consider the…
