Some families of unitary perfect polynomials over F₂

Publication:2658205





The author extends substantially our knowledge about the unitary perfect polynomials over \(\mathbb{F}_2\). He discover \(28\) new classes of these polynomials by checking appropriate products of polynomials of the form \(1+x^a(x+1)^b \cdot M^c\) where \(M+1 = x^c(x+1)^d\). He conjectures that for each integer \(n\) exceeding \(2\) there exists an unitary perfect polynomial divisible by \(x^n\). The method could potentially help to discover new perfect polynomials. A polynomial \(A\) is unitary perfect if and only if \(A\) equals the sum of all its unitary divisors \(D\). This means that \(\gcd(D,A/D)=1\). Two polynomials \(A,B \in \mathbb{F}_2[x]\) are in the same class if \(A = B^{2^k}\) for some non-negative integer \(k\).
