Walsh's conjecture on weakly regular bent functions and weighted partial difference sets

Let p>2p>2 and let f:GF(p)nGF(p)f:GF(p)^n\to GF(p) be a weakly regular bent function corresponding to a weighted strongly regular graph via the stated analogy. Let μii\mu_{ii} denote the diagonal intersection number for the associated weighted partial difference set, for 1is1\leq i\leq s. Walsh's conjecture. One has

μii=0,1is.\mu_{ii}=0,\qquad 1\leq i\leq s.

This predicts a structural restriction on the weighted partial difference set associated with a weakly regular bent function and its weighted strongly regular graph. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
