Let G denote the group of integers of a p-series field, where p is a prime ≦ 2. Thus, any element can be represented as a sequence {xi }i = 0 ∞ with 0 ≦ xi < p for each i ≦ 0. Moreover, the dual group {Ψm }m = 0 ∞ of G can be described by the following process. If m is a non-negative integer with for each k , and if then

where for each integer k ≧ 0 and for each x = {xi } ∈ G the functions Φk are defined by

(2)

In the case that p = 2, the group G is the dyadic group introduced by Fine [1] and the functions are the Walsh-Paley functions. A detailed account of these groups and basic properties can be found in [4].
