On the boomerang uniformity of a class of permutation quadrinomials over finite fields

Let ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}$ be a finite field with $2^n$ elements and $f_{\underset{\_}{c}}(x)=c_0{x}^{2^m(2^k+1)}+c_1{x}^{2^{m+k}+1}+c_2{x}^{2^m+2^k}+c_3{x}^{2^k+1}\in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}[x]$, where n, m and k are positive integers with $n=2m$ and $\gcd ?(m,k)=e$. In this paper, motivated by a recent work of Li, Xiong and Zeng (Li et al. (2021) [12]), we further study the boomerang uniformity of $f_{\underset{\_}{c}}(x)$ by using similar ideas and carrying out particular techniques in solving equations over finite fields. As a consequence, we generalize Li, Xiong and Zeng's result from the case of m being odd and $e=1$ to that of both $m/e$ and $k/e$ being odd.
