On communication complexity of bent functions from Maiorana–McFarland class

Abstract

© 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.In this article we study two party Communication Complexity of Boolean bent functions from Maiorana–McFarland class. In particular, we describe connections between Maiorana–McFarland construction of bent functions and operations on matrix form of Boolean functions and show that bent functions of 2n variables from Maiorana–McFarland class have deterministic communication complexity equal n + 1. Finally, we show that not all bent functions have high communication complexity lower bound by giving the example of such function.
