Boolean functions with MacWilliams duality

초록/요약

We introduce a new class of Boolean functions for which the MacWilliams duality holds, called MacWilliams-dual functions, by considering a dual notion on Boolean functions. By using the MacWilliams duality, we prove the Gleason-type theorem on MacWilliams-dual functions. We show that a collection of MacWilliams-dual functions contains all the bent functions and all formally self-dual functions. We also obtain the Pless power moments for MacWilliams-dual functions. Furthermore, as an application, we prove the nonexistence of bent functions in 2n variables with minimum degree n-k for any nonnegative integer k and n a parts per thousand yen N with some positive integer N under a certain condition.
