Abstract

We introduce the concepts of weighted ambiguity and deficiency for a mapping between two finite Abelian groups of the same size. Then we study the optimum lower bounds of these measures for a permutation of ℤn and give a construction of permutations meeting the lower bound by modifying some permutation polynomials over finite fields. These permutations are also APN permutations.
