Trims and extensions of quadratic APN functions

Designs, Codes and Cryptography - In this work, we study functions that can be obtained by restricting a vectorial Boolean function $$F :\mathbb {F}_{2}^n \rightarrow \mathbb {F}_{2}^n$$ to an...     

On the separator of subsets of semigroups

By the separator \operatornameSepA\operatorname{\mathit{Sep}}A of a subset A of a semigroup S we mean the set of all elements x of S which satisfy conditions xA⊆A, Ax⊆A, x(S−A)⊆(S−A), (S−A)x⊆(S−A). In this paper we deal with the separator of subsets of semigroups.     

On free quadratic extensions of rings

The quaternion algebraB[j] over a commutative ringB with 1 defined byS. Parimala andR. Sridharan is generalized in two directions: (1) the ringB may be non-commutative with 1, and (2)j ² may be any invertible element (not necessarily –1). LetG={} be an automorphism group ofB of order 2, andA={b inB| (b)=b}. LetB[j] be a generalized quaternion algebra such thataj (a) for eacha inB. It will be shown thatB is Galois (for non-commutative ring extensions) overA which is contained in the center ofB if and only ifB[j] is Azumaya overA. Also,A[j] is a splitting ring forB[j] such thatA[j] is Galois overA. Moreover, we shall determine which automorphism group ofA[j] is a Galois group.     

On smooth extensions of vector-valued functions defined on closed subsets of Banach spaces

Let $X$ and $ Z$ be Banach spaces, $A$ a closed subset of $X$ and a mapping $f:A\rightarrow Z$ . We give necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain a $C^1$ smooth mapping $F:X \rightarrow Z$ such that $F_{\mid _A}=f$ , when either (i) $X$ and $Z$ are Hilbert spaces and $X$ is separable, or (ii) $X^*$ is separable and $Z$ is an absolute Lipschitz retract, or (iii) $X=L_2$ and $Z=L_p$ with $1<p<2$ , or (iv) $X=L_p$ and $Z=L_2$ with $2<p<\infty $ , where $L_p$ is any separable Banach space $L_p(S,\Sigma ,\mu )$ with $(S,\Sigma ,\mu )$ a $\sigma $ -finite measure space.     

On extensions of Sobolev functions defined on regular subsets of metric measure spaces

We characterize the restrictions of first-order Sobolev functions to regular subsets of a homogeneous metric space and prove the existence of the corresponding linear extension operator.     

On extensions of completely simple semigroups by groups

An example of an extension of a completely simple semigroup \(U\) by a group \(H\) is given which cannot be embedded into the wreath product of \(U\) by \(H\) . On the other hand, every central extension of \(U\) by \(H\) is shown to be embeddable in the wreath product of \(U\) by \(H\) , and any extension of \(U\) by \(H\) is proved to be embeddable in a semidirect product of a completely simple semigroup \(V\) by \(H\) where the maximal subgroups of \(V\) are direct powers of those of \(U\) .     

Automatic extensions of local regularized semigroups and local regularized cosine functions

This paper establishes automatic extensions for local regularized semigroups and local regularized cosine functions in a certain sense and applies the results to abstract Cauchy problems.

     

On extensions of polynomial functions

Let X, Y be two linear spaces over the field ? of rationals and let D ≠ ? be a (?—convex subset of X. We show that every function ?: D → Y satisfying the functional equation $${\mathop\sum^{n+1}\limits_{j=0}}(-1)^{n+1-j}\Bigg(^{n+1}_{j}\Bigg)f\Bigg((1-{j\over {n+1}})x+{j\over{n+1}}y\Bigg)=0,\ \ \ x,y\in\ D,$$ admits an extension to a function F: X → Y of the form $$F(x)=A^o+A^1(x)+\cdot\cdot\cdot+A^n(x),\ \ \ x\in\ X,$$ where A ^o ∈ Y, A^k(x) ? A_k(x,…,x), x ∈ X, and the maps A _k: X ^k → Y are k—additive and symmetric, k ∈ {1,…, n}. Uniqueness of the extension is also discussed.     

On controlled extensions of functions

For any numerical function we give sufficient conditions for resolving the controlled extension problem for a closed subset A of a normal space X. Namely, if the functions , and satisfy the equality E(f(a),g(a))=h(a), for every a∈A, then we are interested to find the extensions f? and ? of f and g, respectively, such that , for every x∈X. We generalize earlier results concerning E(u,v)=u·v by using the techniques of selections of paraconvex-valued LSC mappings and soft single-valued mappings.     

On extensions of partial functions

The problem of extending partial functions is considered from the general viewpoint. Some aspects of this problem are illustrated by examples, which are concerned with typical real-valued partial functions (e.g. semicontinuous, monotone, additive, measurable, possessing the Baire property).     

On extensions of characteristic functions

Here we deal with the following question: Is it true that, for any closed interval on the real line ? that does not contain the origin, there exists a characteristic function f such that f(x) coincides with the normal characteristic function \( {\mathrm{e}}^{-{x}^2/2} \) on this interval but f(x) ? \( {\mathrm{e}}^{-{x}^2/2} \) on ?? The answer to this question is positive. We study a more general case of an arbitrary characteristic function g of a continuous probability density, instead of \( {\mathrm{e}}^{-{x}^2/2} \).
