“…(2) In this paper, we present three constructions of PDFs based on the generalized cyclotomy above and d-form functions with difference balanced property, see Theorems 3.4, 3.6 and 3.9. Firstly, compared with Construction 1 in [6] and Construction 1 in [29] respectively, Construction 1 and Construction 2 in this paper provide new parameters since the requirement e|(p mi i − 1) gives more flexibility. Furthermore, compared with the recursive constructions of PDFs in [27,Theorem 18] and [4,Chapter 3], our constructions are direct.…”
“…More recently, the cyclotomy has proved to be valuable in other applied fields such as sequences [40,15,8,22,9], coding theory [15,17,16,10,25] and cryptography [15]. The combinatorics has also benefited from the use of cyclotomy, which can be applied for constructing difference sets, difference families, and so on [32,35,17,41,36,7,39,34,37,6,29].…”

“…There are various methods of constructing PDFs, which have been presented in [36,7,39,34,14,18,20,5,27,2,3,4]. Recently, PDFs have been investigated intensively under the notion of zero-difference balanced function [41,37,6,29,11,12,42,33,38,13]. Let f be a function from an additive group A onto a set B, where |A| = n and |B| = m. f is called an (n, m, λ) zero-difference balanced (ZDB) function if for any nonzero a ∈ A, we have |{x ∈ A : f (a + x) = f (x)}| = λ for some constant λ.…”

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Cyclotomy, firstly introduced by Gauss, is an important topic in Mathematics since it has a number of applications in number theory, combinatorics, coding theory and cryptography.
