Sihem Mesnager, Fengrong Zhang, Yong Zheng Zhou · Advances in Mathematics of Communications · 2017
In this paper, we firstly compute the dual functions of elementary symmetric bent functions. Next, we derive a new secondary construction of bent functions (given with their dual functions) involving symmetric bent functions, leading to a generalization of the well-know Rothaus' construction.
