“…The construction of permutation polynomials with a simple algebraic form is an interesting research problem and it has already attracted researchers' much attention in recent years. By using certain techniques in dealing with equations or polynomials over finite fields, a number of permutation polynomials with a simple form have been obtained, the reader is referred to [3,5,6,7,8,10,12,16,23,24,26,27] and the references therein. Motivated by the observation that more than half of the known permutation binomials and trinomials were constructed from Niho exponents, Li and Helleseth [12] aimed to investigate permutation trinomials over F 2 n [x] of the form…”
