The APN distance-one conjecture
Let , and let be APN functions. Define their Hamming distance by
APN distance-one conjecture. If , then . It is unknown whether two APN functions can have Hamming distance one; the conjecture is known for several classes, including known APN power functions except the Dobbertin function and APN plateaued functions.
