A threshold property of quadratic Boolean functions

Abstract:
Let f be a Boolean function in n variables and for any affine subspace L of dimension én/2ù  either f is affine on all shifts of L or f is not affine on any shift of L. It is proved that the algebraic degree of f can be more than 2 only if there is no affine subspace of dimension  én/2ù  that f is affine on.

Keywords: Boolean function, quadratic Boolean function, bent function.
