More precisely, the $q$-polynomial over $\\mathbb F_{q^6}$, $q \\equiv 1\\pmod 4$ described in arXiv:1906.05611, arXiv:1910.02278 is generalized for any even $n\\ge6$ to an $\\mathbb F_q$-linear automorphism of $\\mathbb F_q^n$ of order $n$ and proved to be scattered along with some of its iterated compositions. In particular this provides new maximum scattered linear sets of the projective line $\\mathrm{PG}(1,q^n)$ for $n=8,10$. The polynomials described in this paper yield to a new infinite family of MRD-codes in $\\mathbb F_q^{n\\times n}$ with minimum distance $n-1$ for any odd $q$ if $n\\equiv0\\pmod4$ and any $q\\equiv1\\pmod4$ if $n\\equiv2\\pmod4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-03T10:59:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51E20", "05B25", "51E22" ], "keywords": [ "linear maximum rank distance codes", "maximum rank distance codes consisting", "square matrices", "polynomial" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
