On the Classification of Exceptional Planar Functions over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$
Fernando Hernando, Gary McGuire, Francisco Monserrat · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2013
We will present many strong partial results towards a classification of exceptional planar/PN monomial functions on finite fields. The techniques we use are the Weil bound, Bezout's theorem, and Bertini's theorem.
