Construction of Perfect Nonlinear and Maximally Nonlinear Multi-Output Boolean Functions Satisfying Higher Order Strict Avalanche Criteria
We consider the problem of constructing perfect nonlinear multi-output Boolean functions satisfying higher order strict avalanche criteria (SAC). Our rst construction is an in nite family of 2-ouput perfect nonlinear functions satisfying higher order SAC. This construction is achieved using the theory of bilinear forms and symplectic matrices. Next we build on a known connection between 1-factorization of a complete graph and SAC to construct more examples of 2 and 3-output perfect nonlinear functions

Topology Reconstruction of Dynamical Networks via Constrained Lyapunov Equations
The network structure (or topology) of a dynamical network is often
unavailable or uncertain. Hence, we consider the problem of network
reconstruction. Network reconstruction aims at inferring the topology of a
dynamical network using measurements obtained from the network. In this
technical note we define the notion of solvability of the network
reconstruction problem. Subsequently, we provide necessary and sufficient
conditions under which the network reconstruction problem is solvable. Finally,
using constrained Lyapunov equations, we establish novel network reconstruction
algorithms, applicable to general dynamical networks. We also provide
specialized algorithms for specific network dynamics, such as the well-known
consensus and adjacency dynamics.Comment: 8 page
