A characterization of bent functions in terms of strongly regular graphs
Anna Bernasconi, B. Codenottl, Jeffrey M. VanderKam · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 2001
In this paper, we prove that bent functions can be precisely characterized in terms of a special class of strongly regular graphs, thus providing a positive answer to a question raised in the paper by A. Bernasconi and B. Codenotti (1999).
