Suppose that $ \mu_p $ is a probability measure defined on the input space of Boolean functions. We consider a generalization of Walsh–Hadamard transform on Boolean functions to $ \mu_p $-Walsh–Hadamard transforms. In this paper, first, we derive the properties of $ \mu_p $-Walsh–Hadamard transformation for some classes of Boolean functions and specify a class of nonsingular affine transformations that preserve the $ \mu_p $-bent property. We further derive the results on $ \mu_p $-Walsh–Hadamard transform of concatenation of Boolean functions and provide some secondary constructions of $ \mu_p $-bent functions. Finally, we discuss the $ \mu_p $-bentness for Maiorana–McFarland class of bent functions.

Keywords: Boolean function, $ \mu_p $-Walsh–Hadamard transform, $ \mu_p $-bent function.
