Abstract

In a recent paper, it is shown that functions of the form L1(x3)+L2(x9)L_1(x^3)+L_2(x^9), where L1L_1 and L2L_2 are linear, are a good source for construction of new infinite families of APN functions. In the present work we study necessary and sufficient conditions for such functions to be APN.
