Can we explicitly compute this "shift"-quantity over Boolean functions $u:\mathbb{F}_2^n\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_2$?

This question is a follow-up of this question. Let $\mathbb{F}_2=\{0,1\}$ be the field with two elements, and suppose that $n$ is odd. Question: Can we compute the exact minimum $$A:= \min_{u:\mathbb{...

Are there functions $\mathbb{F}_2^n \to \mathbb{F}_2$ satisfying these special relations?

Let $\mathbb{F}_2=\{0,1\}$ be the field with two elements, and let $u:\mathbb{F}_2^n\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_2$. Suppose that $n$ is odd. Is it possible that $$ \sum_{x \in \mathbb{F}_2^n}(-1)^{u(x)+u(...

Applications of small Kakeya sets over finite fields

It was proved by Dvir that a Kakeya set in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ has size at least $q^n/n!$, a bound which was later improved to $q^n/2^n$. For $n = 2$ and $q$ odd the exact bound is $q(q+1)/2 + (q-1)/2$ ...
