Whereas the design and properties of bent and plateaued functions have been frequently addressed during the past few decades, there are only a few design methods of so-called 5-valued spectra Boolean functions whose Walsh spectra takes the…
Negabent functions were introduced as a generalization of bent functions, which have applications in coding theory and cryptography. In this paper, we have extended the notion of negabent functions to the functions defined from…
This note contains a simple construction of complete sets of MUBs, using bent functions to write the new basis vectors as explicit linear combinations of the standard basis.
Bent functions can be classified into regular bent functions, weakly regular but not regular bent functions, and non-weakly regular bent functions. Regular and weakly regular bent functions always appear in pairs since their duals are also…
In this article a procedure to construct bent functions from $\F_{p^n}$ to $\F_p$ by merging plateaued functions which are bent on ($n-2$)-dimensional subspaces of $\F_{p^n}$ is presented. Taking advantage of such classes of plateaued…
We introduce the symmetric (respectively, non-symmetric) $\tau_{-\ell}-$hypergeometric functions associated with a root system of type $BC$ as joint eigenfunctions of a commutative algebra of differential (respectively,…
An important classification of permutations over $\mathbb{F}_2^m$, suitable for constructing Maiorana-McFarland bent functions on $\mathbb{F}_2^m \times \mathbb{F}_2^m$ with the unique $M$-subspace of maximal dimension, was recently…
The study on minimal linear codes has received great attention due to their significant applications in secret sharing schemes and secure two-party computation. Until now, numerous minimal linear codes have been discovered. However, to the…
The concatenation of four Boolean bent functions $f=f_1||f_2||f_3||f_4$ is bent if and only if the dual bent condition $f_1^* + f_2^* + f_3^* + f_4^* =1$ is satisfied. However, to specify four bent functions satisfying this duality…
For each non-constant $q$ in the set of $n$-variable Boolean functions, the {\em $q$-transform} of a Boolean function $f$ is related to the Hamming distances from $f$ to the functions obtainable from $q$ by nonsingular linear change of…
The report studies the generation of ternary bent functions by permuting the circular Vilenkin_Chrestenson spectrum of a known bent function. We call this spectral invariant operations in the spectral domain, in analogy to the spectral…
In 1999 Bernasconi and Codenotti noted that the Cayley graph of a bent function is strongly regular. This paper describes the concept of extended Cayley equivalence of bent functions, discusses some connections between bent functions,…
Two general constructions of linear codes with functions over finite fields have been extensively studied in the literature. The first one is given by $\mathcal{C}(f)=\left\{ {\rm Tr}(af(x)+bx)_{x \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}^*}: a,b \in…
It has been an active research issue for many years to construct new bent functions. For $k$ odd with $\gcd(n, k)=1$, and $a\in\mathbb{F}_{3^n}^{*}$, the function $f(x)=Tr(ax^{\frac{3^k+1}{2}})$ is weakly regular bent over…
We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…
The Walsh--Hadamard spectrum of a bent function uniquely determines a dual function. The dual of a bent function is also bent. A bent function that is equal to its dual is called a self-dual function. The Hamming distance between a bent…
The necessary and sufficient conditions for a class of functions $f:\mathbb{Z}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_q$, where $q \geq 2$ is an even positive integer, have been recently identified for $q=4$ and $q=8$. In this article we give an…
In a recent paper [9], Ozdemir, Tunc and Akdemir defined two new classes of convex functions with which they proved some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities. As an Open problem, they asked for conditions under which the composition of two…
This paper introduces new constructions of sum-rank metric codes derived from algebraic function fields, as existing results on such codes remain limited. A major challenge lies in the determination of their parameters. We address this…
In this paper, two new classes of convex functions as a generalization of convexity which is called (h-s)_{1,2}-convex functions are given. We also prove some Hadamard-type inequalities and applications to the special means are given.
