Tóm tắt

We give a necessary and sufficient condition such that the class of $$p$$ -ary binomial functions proposed by Jia et al. (IEEE Trans Inf Theory 58(9):6054–6063, 2012) are regular bent functions, and thus settle the open problem raised at the end of that paper. Moreover, we investigate the bentness of the proposed binomials under the case $$\gcd (\frac{t}{2}, p^{\frac{n}{2}}+1)=1$$ for some even integers $$t$$ and $$n$$ . Computer experiments show that the new class contains bent functions that are affinely inequivalent to known monomial and binomial ones.
