Several classes of permutation polynomials of the form \((x^{p^m} - x + \delta)^s + x\) over \(\mathbb{F}_{p^{2m}}\) (Q2668089)

Using the tools of equations over finite fields, the authors make some advances in the study of permutation polynomials over finite fields. They consider two special classes of quadrinomials and expound the necessary and sufficient conditions for such polynomials to be permutation polynomials. The techniques used are arithmetic and algebraic in nature, with special emphasis on finite field theory.
