A function $F:\mathbb{F}_2^n\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_2^n$, $n=2m$, can have at most $2^n-2^m$ bent component functions. Trivial examples are obtained as $F(x) = (f_1(x),\ldots,f_m(x),a_1(x),\ldots, a_m(x))$, where…

We obtain new nonexistence results of generalized bent functions from $\{Z^n}_q$ to $\Z_q$ (called type $[n,q]$) in the case that there exist cyclotomic integers in $ \Z[\zeta_{q}]$ with absolute value $q^{\frac{n}{2}}$. This result…

In this paper, we present the compositional inverses of several classes permutation polynomials of the form $\sum_{i=1}^kb_i\left({\rm Tr}_m^{mn}(x)^{t_i}+\delta\right)^{s_i}+f_1(x)$, where $1\leq i \leq k,$ $s_i$ are positive integers,…

We obtain new non-existence results of generalized bent functions from \ZZ^n_q to \ZZ_q (called type [n,q]). The first case is a class of types where q=2p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}. The second case contains two types [1 <= n <= 3, 2 * 31^e]$ and [1…

Finite hypergeometric functions are complex valued functions on finite fields which are the analogue of the classical analytic hypergeometric functions. From the work of N.M.Katz it follows that their values are traces of Frobenius on…

We study vectorial functions with maximal number of bent components in this paper. We first study the Walsh transform and nonlinearity of $F(x)=x^{2^e}h(\Tr_{2^{2m}/2^m}(x))$, where $e\geq0$ and $h(x)$ is a permutation over $\F_{2^m}$. If…

Much work has been devoted to bent functions in odd characteristic, but there still remains a gap between our knowledge of binary and nonbinary bent functions. In the first part of this paper, we attempt to partially bridge this gap by…
