Much work has been devoted to bent functions in odd characteristic, but there still remains a gap between our knowledge of binary and nonbinary bent functions. In the first part of this paper, we attempt to partially bridge this gap by…

In a recent survey, Schmidt compiled equivalences between generalized bent functions, group invariant Butson Hadamard matrices, and abelian splitting relative difference sets. We establish a broader network of equivalences by considering…

Bent functions of the form $\mathbb{F}_2^n\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}_q$, where $q\geqslant2$ is a positive integer, are known as generalized bent (gbent) functions. Gbent functions for which it is possible to define a dual gbent function are…

Only three classes of Almost Perfect Nonlinear (for short, APN) power functions over odd characteristic finite fields have been investigated in the literature, and their differential spectra were determined. The differential uniformity of…

Bent functions are maximally nonlinear Boolean functions with an even number of variables, which include a subclass of functions, the so-called hyper-bent functions whose properties are stronger than bent functions and a complete…

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…

In this paper we study those bent functions which are linear on elements of spreads, their connections with ovals and line ovals, and we give descriptions of their dual bent functions. In particular, we give a geometric characterization of…

Bent functions as optimal combinatorial objects are difficult to characterize and construct. In the literature, bent idempotents are a special class of bent functions and few constructions have been presented, which are restricted by the…

We present in a unified setting the foundations for a theory of non-bilinear Dirichlet functionals on Hilbert spaces. We prove known and new equivalences between non-linear semigroups, non-linear resolvents, non-linear generators, and their…

In this paper, using the tools from the lineability theory, we distinguish certain subsets of $p$-adic differentiable functions. Specifically, we show that the following sets of functions are large enough to contain an infinite dimensional…

For a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, we introduce the concept of a uniformly $C^m$ defining function. We characterize uniformly $C^m$ defining functions in terms of the signed distance function for the boundary and provide a large class…

Functions with low differential uniformity have relevant applications in cryptography. Recently, functions with low $c$-differential uniformity attracted lots of attention. In particular, so-called APcN and PcN functions (generalization of…

Very recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al. A function $F(x)$ over finite field $\mathrm{GF}(p^n)$ to itself is called…

We consider negabent Boolean functions that have Trace representation. We completely characterize quadratic negabent monomial functions. We show the relation between negabent functions and bent functions via a quadratic function. Using this…

The main purpose of this article is concerned with the existence and the precise forms of the transcendental solutions of several refined versions of Fermat-type functional equations with polynomial coefficients in several complex variables…

While the classical differential uniformity ($c=1$) is invariant under the CCZ-equivalence, the newly defined \cite{EFRST20} concept of $c$-differential uniformity, in general is not invariant under EA or CCZ-equivalence, as was observed in…

Negabent functions as a class of generalized bent functions have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their applications in cryptography and coding theory. In this paper, we consider the constructions of negabent functions over…

In this paper, we construct some piecewise defined functions, and study their $c$-differential uniformity. As a by-product, we improve upon several prior results. Further, we look at concatenations of functions with low differential…

In this article a technique for constructing $p$-ary bent functions from near-bent functions is presented. Two classes of quadratic $p$-ary functions are shown to be near-bent. Applying the construction of bent functions to these classes of…

In this paper we put forward the definition of particular subsets on a unital C*-algebra, that we call isocones, and which reduce in the commutative case to the set of continuous non-decreasing functions with real values for a partial order…
