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…

We introduce a class of multiplicative functions in which each function satisfies some statistic conditions, and then prove that above functions are not correlated with finite degree polynomial nilsequences. Besides, we give two…

We obtain an explicit criterion for $p$-ary functions to produce association schemes in terms of their Walsh spectrum. Employing this characterization, we explicitly find a correlation between $p$-ary bent functions and association schemes;…

We consider bivariate polynomials orthogonal on the bicircle with respect to a positive linear functional. The lexicographical and reverse lexicographical orderings are used to order the monomials. Recurrence formulas are derived between…

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…

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…
