Abstract

In this paper we characterize the d-dimensional dual hyperovals in PG(2d + 1, 2) that can be obtained by Yoshiara’s construction (Innov Incid Geom 8:147–169, 2008) from quadratic APN functions and state a one-to-one correspondence between the extended affine equivalence classes of quadratic APN functions and the isomorphism classes of these dual hyperovals.
