Some properties of q-ary functions based on spectral analysis

Deep Singh and Maheshanand Bhaintwal

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize some existing results on Boolean functions to the $q$ -ary functions defined over $\BBZ_{q}$ , where $q \geq 2$ is an integer, and obtain some new characterization of $q$ -ary functions based on spectral analysis. We provide a relationship between Walsh-Hadamard spectra of two $p$ -ary functions and (for a prime) and their derivative . We provide a relationship between the Walsh-Hadamard spectra and the decompositions of any two -ary functions. Further, we investigate a relationship between the Walsh-Hadamard spectra and the autocorrelation of any two -ary functions.
