On the functions on linear spaces (Q2386465)

Let \({\mathbf V}\) be a linear space of dimension \(n\) over the field \(\text{GF}(q)\), consisting of \(q= p^m\) elements, where \(p\) is prime, and \({\mathbf F}\) be a set of functions from \({\mathbf V}\) to \({\mathbf V}\). The derivative of the function \(f\) and characteristic \(\mu{\mathbf I}(f)\) is considered as a measure of nonlinearity of the function \(f\) in cryptanalysis. The author deals with functions and regular sets, geometrical properties of functions, ternary rings and functions, function quasiderivatives set and integration, intersections of subgroups and properties of derivatives and quasiderivatives of functions, quasiderivatives set of exponential functions and piece-linear functions, generated sets of functions, sets generated by 3-piece-linear functions and characterization of exponential functions in the one-dimensional case. In this paper are considered the author's results that have been received and published in the last few years.
