Background and Definition
A Boolean function is said to be plateaued if its Walsh transform takes at most three distinct values, viz. and Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle \pm \mu } for some positive ineger called the amplitude of .
This notion can be naturally extended to vectorial Boolean functions by applying it to each component. More precisely, if is an Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (n,m)} -function, we say that Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F} is plateaued if all its component functions Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u \cdot F} for Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u \ne 0} are plateaued. If all of the component functions are plateaued and have the same amplitude, we say that Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F} is plateaued with single amplitude.
Equivalence relations
The class of functions that are plateaued with single amplitude is CCZ-invariant.
The class of plateaued functions is only EA-invariant.
Relations to other classes of functions
All bent and semi-bent Boolean functions are plateaued.
Any vectorial AB function is plateaued with single amplitude.
