Our main result is a generalized Dillon-type theorem, giving graph-theoretic conditions which guarantee that a $p$-ary function in an even number of variables is bent, for $p$ a prime number greater than 2. The key condition is that the…

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,…

The family of bent functions is a known class of Boolean functions, which have a great importance in cryptography. The Cayley graph defined on $\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{n}$ by the support of a bent function is a strongly regular graph…

Depending on the parity of $n$ and the regularity of a bent function $f$ from $\mathbb F_p^n$ to $\mathbb F_p$, $f$ can be affine on a subspace of dimension at most $n/2$, $(n-1)/2$ or $n/2- 1$. We point out that many $p$-ary bent functions…

In this paper we define the (edge-weighted) Cayley graph associated to a generalized Boolean function, introduce a notion of strong regularity and give several of its properties. We show some connections between this concept and generalized…

In this paper we find a complete characterization of plateaued Boolean functions in terms of the associated Cayley graphs. Precisely, we show that a Boolean function $f$ is $s$-plateaued (of weight $=2^{(n+s-2)/2}$) if and only if the…

Vectorial dual-bent functions have recently attracted some researchers' interest as they play a significant role in constructing partial difference sets, association schemes, bent partitions and linear codes. In this paper, we further study…

Let $G$ be a regular graph of degree $d$ and let $A\subset V(G)$. Say that $A$ is $\eta$-closed if the average degree of the subgraph induced by $A$ is at least $\eta d$. This says that if we choose a random vertex $x\in A$ and a random…

Structural features are important features in a geometrical graph. Although there are some correlation analysis of features based on covariance, there is no relevant research on structural feature correlation analysis with graph neural…

Recently in graph theory several authors have studied the spectrum of the Cayley graph of the symmetric group S_n generated by the transpositions (1, i) for 2 <= i <= n. Several conjectures were made and partial results were obtained. The…

A 3-graph $\mathcal{F}$ is \emph{$U(s, 2s+1)$} if for any $s$ edges $e_1,...,e_s\in E(\mathcal{F})$, $|e_1\cup...\cup e_s|\leq 2s+1$. Frankl and Kupavskii (2020) proposed the following conjecture: For any $3$-graph $\mathcal{F}$ with $n$…

Binomial Cayley graphs are obtained by considering the binomial coefficient of the weight function of a given Cayley graph and a natural number. We introduce these objects and study two families: one associated with symmetric groups and the…

We show that Caratheodory's conjecture, on umbilical points of closed convex surfaces, may be reformulated in terms of the existence of at least one umbilic in the graphs of functions f: R^2-->R whose gradient decays uniformly faster than…

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…

Graph symmetries intervene in diverse applications, from enumeration, to graph structure compression, to the discovery of graph dynamics (e.g., node arrival order inference). Whereas Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs are typically asymmetric, real…

We consider 15 properties of labeled random graphs that are of interest in the graph-theoretical and the graph mining literature, such as clustering coefficients, centrality measures, spectral radius, degree assortativity, treedepth,…

A function $F:\mathbb{F}_{p^n}\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_{p^m},$ is a vectorial $s$-plateaued function if for each component function $F_{b}(\mu)=Tr_n(\alpha F(x)), b\in \mathbb{F}_{p^m}^*$ and $\mu \in \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, the Walsh transform…

We consider a generalization of the concept of $d$-flattenability of graphs - introduced for the $l_2$ norm by Belk and Connelly - to general $l_p$ norms, with integer $P$, $1 \le p < \infty$, though many of our results work for $l_\infty$…

Heaps of pieces were introduced by Viennot and have applications to algebraic combinatorics, theoretical computer science and statistical physics. In this paper, we how certain combinatorial properties of heaps studied by Fan and by…

In this article, we study bent functions on $\mathbb{F}_2^{2m}$ of the form $f(x,y) = x \cdot \phi(y) + h(y)$, where $x \in \mathbb{F}_2^{m-1} $ and $ y \in \mathbb{F}_2^{m+1}$, which form the generalized Maiorana-McFarland class (denoted…
