$4$-uniform BCT permutations from generalized butterfly structure

As a generalization of Dillons APN permutation, butterfly structure and generalizations have been of great interest since they generate permutations with the best known differential and nonlinear properties over the field of size $2^{4k+2}$. Complementary to these results, we show in this paper that butterfly structure, more precisely the closed butterfly also yields permutations with the best boomerang uniformity, a new and important parameter related to boomerang-style attacks. This is the sixth known infinite family of permutations in the literature with the best known boomerang uniformity over such fields.
