Alexander Pott (University of Magdeburg, Germany)

will speak on

Maximum nonlinear functions

Time: 4:00PM
Date: Thu 7th December 2006
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Abstract: There are two notions of how to measure the
nonlinearity of functions defined on finite fields.
In my talk, I will discuss both approaches, in
particular the extremal case of functions which
are in some sense as nonlinear as possible.

I will present new results disproving some
conjectures and which suggest further research.

(This talk is part of the Algebra and Number Theory series.)
