Consecutive non-square non-primitive tuples in finite fields

Juncheng Zhou, Hongfeng Wu

Let be an odd prime power and put \[ θ_q=\frac{φ(q-1)}{q-1}. \] An element of $\Fq$ is called non-square non-primitive, or \emph{NSNP}, if it is both a non-square and a non-pri…

Primitive Quadratic Polynomials in Additive Coset Families

Juncheng Zhou, Hongfeng Wu

Let \(q\) be an odd prime power. For \(μ\in\mathbb F_q^\times\) and an additive coset \(\barα\in\mathbb F_{q^2}/\mathbb F_q\), consider the family \[ \{x^2+μx-α:α\in\barα\}, \] whe…

Finite fields whose members are the sum of a potent and a 5-potent

Juncheng Zhou, Peter V. Danchev, Hongfeng Wu

We show that there are only finitely many finite fields whose members are the sum of an -potent element and a -potent element. Combining this with the algorithmic results pro…

The Minimal Binomial Multiples of Polynomials over Finite Fields

Li Zhu, Hongfeng Wu

Let be a nonconstant polynomial over , with a nonzero constant term. The order of is a classical notion in the theory of polynomials over finite field…

Cyclotomy, cyclotomic cosets and arithmetic properties of some families in

Juncheng Zhou, Hongfeng Wu

Arithmetic properties of some families in are obtained by using the cyclotomic classes of order 2 with respect to ,…

The Multiple Equal-Difference Structure of Cyclotomic Cosets

Li Zhu, Juncheng Zhou, Jinle Liu +1

In this paper we introduce the definition of equal-difference cyclotomic coset, and prove that in general any cyclotomic coset can be decomposed into a disjoint union of equal-diff…

Explicit Representatives and Sizes of Cyclotomic Cosets II: Cyclotomic Systems and Applications to Constacyclic Codes

Li Zhu, Hongfeng Wu

Let be a prime power, let be a prime with , and let be a positive integer. While -cyclotomic cosets are usually considered modulo a fixed int…
