N2 - Let F be a quadratic APN function in n variables. The associated Boolean function γF in 2n variables (γF (a, b) = 1 if a ≠ 0 and equation F(x)+F(x+a) = b has solutions) has the form γF (a, b) = ΦF (a) · b+φF (a)+1 for appropriate functions ΦF : Fn 2 → Fn 2 and φF : Fn 2 → F2. We summarize the known results and prove new ones regarding properties of ΦF and φF. For instance, we prove that degree of ΦF is either n or less or equal to n-2. Based on computation experiments, we formulate a conjecture that degree of any component function of ΦF is n -2. We show that this conjecture is based on two other conjectures of independent interest.
