Covering finite fields by translates of multiplicative subgroups
Juncheng Zhou, Hongfeng Wu
Let be the subgroup of index in , and put . For a covering with , we prove by shi…
The Optimal Coefficients-Based Criterion for Primitive Quadratic Polynomials over Finite Fields
Li Zhu, Hongfeng Wu
Let be a finite field and consider quadratic polynomials with primitive constant term . We construct an optimal coefficients-based…
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…
