Recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential cryptanalysis and the corresponding c-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al.(2020), and then some low differential uniformity functions were constructed. In this paper, we further study the constructions of perfect c-nonlinear (PcN) power functions. First, we give a conjecture on all power functions to be PcN over GF (2 m). Second, several classes of PcN power functions are obtained over finite fields of odd characteristic for c=− 1 and our theorems generalize some results in Bartoli and Timpanella (2020), Hasan et al.(2021) and Zha and Hu (2021). Finally, the c-differential spectrum of a class of almost perfect c-nonlinear (APcN) power functions is determined.
