Özet

Let F be a ternary non-weakly regular bent function in GMMF class whose dual F* is bent. We prove that if F satisfies certain conditions, then collecting the pre-image sets of the dual function F* with respect to the subsets B+(F) and B_(F) forms an imprimitive symmetric translation scheme of class 5 (resp. 6) if the dimension is odd (resp. even). Hence, we construct two infinite families of imprimitive symmetric association schemes. Moreover, fusing the first or last three non-trivial relations, we obtain association schemes of classes 3 and 4, respectively.
