On Generalized Bent Functions

In this paper, we compare binary bent functions and the generalized bent functions from the metric and degree point of view. We give an upper bound on the covering radius of the affine Reed-Muller codes defined over a finite and commutative ring. The paper also gives a bound on the degree of a generalized bent function.
