Simultaneous Pairs of Linear and Quadratic Equations In a Galois Field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
Let F denote the Galois field GF(pr) with pr elements, where p is an odd prime and r is a positive integer. Suppose further that m and n are arbitrary elements of F and that αi, βi pt (i = 1, …, s) are nonzero elements of F. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the function Ns(m, n), defined, for an arbitrary positive integer s, to be the number of simultaneous solutions in F of the equations
