Scattered sequences are a generalization of scattered polynomials. So far, only scattered sequences of order one and two have been constructed. In this paper an infinite family of scattered sequences of order three is obtained. Equivalence…

A linearized polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb F_{q^n}[x]$ is called scattered if for any $y,z\in\mathbb F_{q^n}$, the condition $zf(y)-yf(z)=0$ implies that $y$ and $z$ are $\mathbb F_{q}$-linearly dependent. In this paper two generalizations of…
