Abstract

Let pp be an odd prime and \Fq\F_q be the finite field with q=pnq=p^n elements. A planar function f:\Fq\Fqf:\F_q\rightarrow\F_q is called homogenous if f(λx)=λdf(x)f(\lambda x)=\lambda^df(x) for all λ\Fp\lambda\in\F_p and x\Fqx\in\F_q, where dd is some fixed positive integer. We characterize x2x^2 as the unique homogenous planar function over \Fp2\F_{p^2} up to equivalence.
