Graph of even and odd functions. Even functions have graphs that take the y-axis as the axis of symmetry. The odd function has a graph with the origin O as the center of symmetry. What is a function ...

Methods to generate p-valued bent functions of an odd number of variables are addressed. An extension of the Maiorana method originally developed to generate bent functions of an even number of ...

In this correspondence, we establish that for odd n, the maximum nonlinearity achievable by an n-variable symmetric Boolean function is 2/sup n-1/-2/sup (n-1)///sup 2/ and characterize the set of ...
