In this paper, we construct four binary linear codes closely connected with certain exponential sums over the finite field F_q and F_q-{0,1}. Here q is a power of two. Then we obtain four recursive formulas for the power moments of…

In a base phi representation a natural number is written as a sum of powers of the golden mean $\varphi$. There are many ways to do this. How many? Even if the number of powers of $\varphi$ is finite, then any number has infinitely many…
