Popis: In the predecessor to this paper Dempwolff (Comm Algebra 34(3):1077–1131, 2006), group-theoretic methods were used to solve automorphism and equivalence questions for (certain) ordinary bent functions, i.e., bent functions over \(\mathbb {F}_2\). Here, we consider the same problems for p-ary bent functions, p an odd prime and solve these questions for functions analogous to those which appear in Dempwolff (Comm Algebra 34(3):1077–1131, 2006). Although our general analysis is similar to the approach of Dempwolff (Comm Algebra 34(3):1077–1131, 2006), it turns out that the odd characteristic leads to simplifications: Often, the double derivative can be computed (cf. Lemma 2.10) and factorizations of the automorphism group (cf. Lemma 2.3) can be established resulting in restrictions for automorphisms and equivalence maps.
