Abstract

We give explicit evaluations of Walsh transforms of Gold type functions f(x) = Tr-K (x(2a +1) + x(2b +1)), 0 <=< a < b when gcd (b - a, k) = gcd (b + a, k) and Kasami-Welch type functions f (x) = Tr-K (2(ta+1)/x(2a +1)), when t is odd, gcd (2(k) - 1,2(a) + 1) = 1, k is even. Therefore we correct a recent result of Roy'2012, we solve an open problem stated in Roy'2012 and we improve and generalize some results of Roy'2012 and Lahtonen-McGuire-Ward'2007.
