In this article we show that Walsh–Hadamard transformations of generalized p-ary functions whose components are symmetric, rotation symmetric or a combination or concatenation of them are C-finite sequences. This result generalized many of the known results for regular p-ary functions. We also present a study of the roots of the characteristic poly...

In this article we establish the asymptotic behavior of generating functions related to the exponential sum over finite fields of elementary symmetric functions and their perturbations. This asymptotic behavior allows us to calculate the probability generating function of the probability that the elementary symmetric polynomial of degree k and its...

Exponential sums have applications to a variety of scientific fields, including, but not limited to, cryptography, coding theory and information theory. Closed formulas for exponential sums of symmetric Boolean functions were found by Cai, Green and Thierauf in the late 1990's. Their closed formulas imply that these exponential sums are linear recu...

Rotation symmetric Boolean functions are invariant under circular translation of indices. These functions have very rich cryptographic properties and have been used in different cryptosystems. Recently, Thomas Cusick proved that exponential sums of rotation symmetric Boolean functions satisfy homogeneous linear recurrences with integer coefficients...
