On primary functions which are minimally close to linear functions. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 1475.94169

Summary: The investigation of aspects of closeness to linear functions for functions from \((\mathbb{Z}/(p))^n\) to \((\mathbb{Z}/(p))^m\) (\(p\) is prime number). New criteria of minimal closeness to linear functions are found. This property of a function is proved to be inherited for its homomorphic images. As a generalization of an analogous statement for Boolean functions it is proved that if \(p=2\) or 3 then a class of functions which are minimally close to linear ones coincides with the class of bent-functions (if bent-functions do exist).
