Abstract

        Dobbertin has embedded the problem of construction of bent functions in a recursive framework by using a generalization of bent functions called Z-bent functions. Following his ideas, we generalize the construction of partial spreads bent functions to partial spreads Z-bent functions of arbitrary level. Furthermore, we show how these partial spreads Z-bent functions give rise to a new construction of (classical) bent functions. We underline the variety given by this construction by showing that all bent function in 6 variables can be constructed in this way.
