A class of Boolean functions homogeneously distributed over balls with degree 1 (Q1276005)

Let \(l\) be a nonnegative integer. The Boolean function \(f(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n)\) is called homogeneously distributed over the balls with degree \(l\) if the absolute value of the weight difference for any two balls with equal radii does not exceed \(l\). The author proves the following result. If an \(n\)-ary Boolean function \(f\) with weight \(W_f\leq 2^{n-1}\) is homogeneously distributed over the balls with degree \(l\), then at least one of the three cases takes place: \[ \text{(a)} W_f\leq 2,\quad\text{(b)} n\leq 4,\quad\text{(c)} n=6, W_f=4. \]
