Further results on permutation polynomials over finite fields (Q2253094)

Let \(\mathbb F_{q^n}\) be a finite field. The main result of the paper is: Suppose \(g(x)\in\mathbb F_{q^n}[x]\) satisfies \(g(x)^q=g(x)\) for all \(x\in \mathbb F_{q^n}\), and let \(L(x)\) be a linearized polynomial. For every \(\delta\in \mathbb F_{q^n}\), \[ f(x)=g(x^q-x+\delta)+L(x) \] permutes \(\mathbb F_{q^n}\) if and only if \(L(x)\) does. The authors use this to unify some previous constructions of permutation polynomials and to construct new ones. Typos have been corrected in the corrigenda [ibid. 30, 153--154 (2014; Zbl 1297.11150)].
