The classification conjecture for APN power functions with exponent
The classification conjecture for APN power functions with exponent
Let be the finite field with elements, and for define
A function is APN if its differential uniformity is at most . The classification conjecture. If is APN, then either , or is odd and
The three listed cases are respectively the quadratic function , the function with for odd , and the inverse permutation with for odd . The conjecture asks whether these are the only APN functions in this family; the supplied source gives no resolution status.
