The power sums $\\sum_{a\\in\\Bbb F_q}D_n(1,a)^i$, $i=1,2$, have been determined recently. In this paper we give an evaluation of the sum $\\sum_{a\\in\\Bbb F_q}D_n(1,a)^3$. This result implies new necessary conditions for $D_n(1,x)$ to be a permutation polynomial over $\\Bbb F_q$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-04-01T15:38:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11T06" ], "keywords": [ "third power", "finite fields", "th reversed dickson polynomial", "permutation polynomial", "necessary conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1104.0201H" } } }
