Conjectural Gauss-sum formula for the Walsh transform of binomial Boolean functions
Conjectural Gauss-sum formula for the Walsh transform of binomial Boolean functions
For , let satisfy , let , and let . Define , where is the cubic multiplicative character, and let and be the functions and sum defined in the source.
Conjectural Gauss-sum formula. There exists a Boolean function such that
and, for ,
The source reports experimental evidence for this relation because the preceding methods do not handle the general case . The formula would relate the general Walsh transform to the subfield case and is intended to support the bentness criterion; no proof is supplied.
