Constructing permutation polynomials over finite fields

Abstract

In this paper, we construct several new permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, using the linearized polynomials, we construct the permutation polynomial of the form ${\sum }_{i=1}^k(L_i(x)+{\gamma }_i)h_i(B(x))$ over ${\mathbf{F}}_{q^m}$, where $L_i(x)$ and $B(x)$ are linearized polynomials. This extends a theorem of Coulter, Henderson and Matthews. Consequently, we generalize a result of Marcos by constructing permutation polynomials of the forms $xh({\lambda }_j(x))$ and $xh({\mu }_j(x))$, where ${\lambda }_j(x)$ is the $j$-th elementary symmetric polynomial of $x,x^q,...,x^{q^{m-1}}$ and ${\mu }_j(x)={\text{Tr}}_{{\mathbf{F}}_{q^m}/{\mathbf{F}}_q}(x^j)$. This answers an open problem raised by Zieve in 2010. Finally, by using the linear translator, we construct the permutation polynomial of the form $L_1(x)+L_2(\gamma )h(f(x))$ over ${\mathbf{F}}_{q^m}$, which extends a result of Kyureghyan.
