Almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions play a pivotal role in cryptography, particularly in securing symmetric key algorithms against differential attacks. Their algebraic properties, including ...

We derive a Monte-Carlo-amenable, minimum variance unbiased estimator of a nonlinear function of a normal mean and the variance of the estimator. Applications to ...

A new class of methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations, called tensor methods, is introduced. Tensor methods are general purpose methods intended especially for problems where the Jacobian ...
