  • Abstract
    The lower bound on the number of n-variable balanced symmetric functions over finite fields image presented by Cusick et al. in [T.W. Cusick, Y. Li, P. Staˇnicaˇ, Balanced symmetric functions over GF(p), IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 54 (3) (2008) 1304–1307] is improved in this paper. An equivalent characterization is also presented for the general case.
