Abstract
We investigate explicit constructions of bent functions which are linear on elements of spreads. Our constructions are obtained from symplectic presemifields which are associated to pseudo-planar functions. The following diagram gives an indication of the main interconnections arising in this paper: $pseudo-planar\ functions \longleftrightarrow\ commutaive\ presemifields \longrightarrow bent\ functions$
- Bent functions,
- spreads,
- presemifields,
- pseudo-planar functions.
