of the vectors satisfying the propagation criteria is discussed.If deg
f(x)=n
then
U
is an empty set.For all the functions of degree 2
U
have at least half vectors of
V
.The avalanche characteristics of a class of functions is discussed.Boolean functions have no nonezero linear structure if and only if there are n linear independence vectors.Furthermore a construction of functions which satisfy propagation criteria of degree 2 is given.
