Abstract

In \cite{Bapic, Tang, Zheng} a new method for the secondary construction of vectorial/Boolean bent functions via the so-called (PU)(P_U) property was introduced. In 2018, Qi et al. generalized the methods in \cite{Tang} for the construction of pp-ary weakly regular bent functions. The objective of this paper is to further generalize these constructions, following the ideas in \cite{Bapic, Zheng}, for secondary constructions of vectorial pp-ary weakly regular bent and plateaued functions. We also present some infinite families of such functions via the pp-ary Maiorana-McFarland class. Additionally, we give another characterization of the (PU)(P_U) property for the pp-ary case via second-order derivatives, as it was done for the Boolean case in \cite{Zheng}.
