A construction of weakly and non-weakly regular bent functions. (English) Zbl 1258.94034
Authors’ abstract: In this article a technique for constructing $$p$$-ary bent functions from near-bent functions is presented. This technique is then used to obtain both weakly regular and and non-weakly regular bent functions. In particular we present the first known infinite class of non-weakly regular bent functions.
