摘要

In this paper,the ranks of a special family of Maiorana-McFarland bent functions are discussed.The upper and lower bounds of the ranks are given and those bent functions whose ranks achieve these bounds are determined.As a consequence,the inequivalence of some bent functions are derived.Furthermore,the ranks of the functions of this family are calculated when t≤6.
