Abstract
Bent Boolean functions exist only for an even number of variables, moreover, they are unbalanced. Therefore, they are used in coding theory and in many areas of computer science. General form of bent functions is still unknown. One way of representing Boolean functions is with a reduced ordered binary decision diagram (ROBDD). The strength of ROBDDs is that they can represent Boolean functions data with a high level of redundancy in a compact form, as long as the data is encoded in such a way that the redundancy is exposed. This paper investigates characteristics of bent functions with focus on their ROBDD parameters. Decision diagram experimental framework has been used for implementation of a program for calculation of the ROBDD parameters. The results presented in this paper are intended to be used to create methods for the construction of bent functions using a ROBDD as a data structure from which the bent functions can be discovered.
