Abstract

Let p7p\ge 7, q=pmq=p^m. Kq(a)=xFpmζTr1m(xpm2+ax)K_q(a)=\sum_{x\in \mathbb{F}_{p^m}} \zeta^{\mathrm{Tr}^m_1(x^{p^m-2}+ax)} is the Kloosterman sum of aa on Fpm\mathbb{F}_{p^m}, where ζ=e2π1p\zeta=e^{\frac{2\pi\sqrt{-1}}{p}}. The value 12ζ+ζ11-\frac{2}{\zeta+\zeta^{-1}} of Kq(a)K_q(a) and its conjugate have close relationship with a class of binomial function with Dillon exponent. This paper first presents some necessary conditions for aa such that Kq(a)=12ζ+ζ1K_q(a)=1-\frac{2}{\zeta+\zeta^{-1}}. Further, we prove that if p=11p=11, for any aa, Kq(a)12ζ+ζ1K_q(a)\neq 1-\frac{2}{\zeta+\zeta^{-1}}. And for p13p\ge 13, if aFpsa\in \mathbb{F}_{p^s} and s=gcd(2,m)s=\mathrm{gcd}(2,m), Kq(a)12ζ+ζ1K_q(a)\neq 1-\frac{2}{\zeta+\zeta^{-1}}. In application, these results explains some class of binomial regular bent functions does not exits.
