Abstract

The construction of permutation trinomials of the form Xr(Xα(2m1)+Xβ(2m1)+1)X^r(X^{\alpha (2^m-1)}+X^{\beta(2^m-1)} + 1) over \F22m\F_{2^{2m}}, where m, r and α>βm,~r\text{ and }\alpha > \beta are positive integers, is an active area of research. Several classes of permutation trinomials with fixed values of α\alpha, β\beta and rr have been studied. Here, we construct three new classes of permutation trinomials with (α,β,r){(7,5,7),(8,6,9),(10,4,11)}(\alpha,\beta,r)\in\{(7,5,7),(8,6,9),(10,4,11)\} over \F22m\F_{2^{2m}}. We also analyze the quasi-multiplicative equivalence of the newly obtained classes of permutation trinomials to both the existing ones and to each other. Additionally, we prove the nonexistence of a class of permutation trinomials over \F22m\F_{2^{2m}} of the same type for r=9r=9, α=7\alpha=7, and β=3\beta=3 when m>3m > 3. Furthermore, we provide a proof for a conjecture on the quasi-multiplicative equivalence of two classes of permutation trinomials, as proposed by Yadav, Gupta, Singh, and Yadav (2024).
