In this paper, several new classes of Boolean functions with few Walsh transform values, including bent, semi-bent and five-valued functions, are obtained by adding the product of two or three linear functions to some known bent…
In this work, we employ the concept of {\em composite representation} of Boolean functions, which represents an arbitrary Boolean function as a composition of one Boolean function and one vectorial function, for the purpose of specifying…
Generalized bent (gbent) functions is a class of functions $f: \mathbb{Z}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_q$, where $q \geq 2$ is a positive integer, that generalizes a concept of classical bent functions through their co-domain extension. A lot…
In this paper, a new construction of quaternary bent functions from quaternary quadratic forms over Galois rings of characteristic 4 is proposed. Based on this construction, several new classes of quaternary bent functions are obtained, and…
We study a new class of functions that arise naturally in quaternionic analysis, we call them "quasi regular functions". Like the well-known quaternionic regular functions, these functions provide representations of the quaternionic…
Bent functions are of great importance in both mathematics and information science. The $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{S}$ class of bent functions was introduced by Dillon in 1974, but functions belonging to this class that can be explicitly…

Bent-negabent functions have many important properties for their application in cryptography since they have the flat absolute spectrum under the both Walsh-Hadamard transform and nega-Hadamard transform. In this paper, we present four new…
In this paper, we discuss when a class function on a finite group is a bent function. We have found a necessary condition for a class function on a finite abelian group to be bent. Also, we have found a necessary and sufficient condition…

Plateaued functions as an extension of bent functions play a significant role in cryptography, coding theory, sequences and combinatorics. In \cite{Mesnager9}, Mesnager \emph{et al.} introduced generalized plateaued functions in order to…
Bent functions, which are maximally nonlinear Boolean functions with even numbers of variables and whose Hamming distance to the set of all affine functions equals $2^{n-1}\pm 2^{\frac{n}{2}-1}$, were introduced by Rothaus in 1976 when he…
Bent functions $f: V_{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_{p}$ with certain additional properties play an important role in constructing partial difference sets, where $V_{n}$ denotes an $n$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$, $p$ is an…
Bent functions, or equivalently, Hadamard difference sets in the elementary Abelian group $(\gf(2^{2m}), +)$, have been employed to construct symmetric and quasi-symmetric designs having the symmetric difference property. The main objective…

A Boolean function $f$ on $n$ variables is said to be a bent function if the absolute value of all its Walsh coefficients is $2^{n/2}$. Our main result is a new asymptotic lower bound on the number of Boolean bent functions. It is based on…
We will present many strong partial results towards a classification of exceptional planar/PN monomial functions on finite fields. The techniques we use are the Weil bound, Bezout's theorem, and Bertini's theorem.
In this paper we study those bent functions which are linear on elements of spreads, their connections with ovals and line ovals, and we give descriptions of their dual bent functions. In particular, we give a geometric characterization of…
In this article, we study the properties of a class of functional spaces which arise from the investigation of nonlinear differential equations. We establish some integral inequalities then by applying these inequalities, we prove some…
