Abstract
In this paper, we present two new families of APN functions. The first family is in bivariate form <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\big (x^{3}+xy^{2}+ y^{3}+xy, x^{5}+x^{4}y+y^{5}+xy+x^{2}y^{2} \big)\,\,\vphantom {_{\int _{\int }}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> over <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathbb F}_{2^{m}}^{2}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> . It is obtained by adding certain terms of the form <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sum _{i}(a_{i}x^{2^{i}}y^{2^{i}},b_{i}x^{2^{i}}y^{2^{i}})$ </tex-math></inline-formula> to a family of APN functions recently proposed by Gölo&gcaron;lu. The <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\vphantom {_{\int _{\int }}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> second family has the form <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$L(z)^{2^{m}+1}+vz^{2^{m}+1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> over <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathbb F}_{{2^{3m}}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> , which generalizes a family of APN functions by Bracken et al. from 2011. By calculating the <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Gamma $ </tex-math></inline-formula> -rank of the constructed APN functions over <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathbb F}_{2^{8}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathbb F}_{2^{9}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> , we demonstrate that the two families are CCZ-inequivalent to all known families. In addition, the two new families cover two known sporadic APN instances over <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathbb F}_{2^{8}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathbb F}_{2^{9}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> , which were found by Edel and Pott in 2009 and by Beierle and Leander in 2021, respectively.
