Classification of some quadrinomials over finite fields of odd characteristic

In this paper, we completely determine all necessary and sufficient conditions such that the polynomial $f(x)=x^3+a{x}^{q+2}+b{x}^{2q+1}+c{x}^{3q}$, where $a,b,c\in {\mathbb{F}}_q^{?}$, is a permutation quadrinomial of ${\mathbb{F}}_{q^2}$ over any finite field of odd characteristic. This quadrinomial has been studied first in 25] by Tu, Zeng and Helleseth, later in 24] Tu, Liu and Zeng revisited these quadrinomials and they proposed a more comprehensive characterization of the coefficients that results with new permutation quadrinomials, where $char({\mathbb{F}}_q)=2$ and finally, in 16], Li, Qu, Li and Chen proved that the sufficient condition given in 24] is also necessary and thus completed the solution in even characteristic case. In 6] Gupta studied the permutation properties of the polynomial $x^3+a{x}^{q+2}+b{x}^{2q+1}+c{x}^{3q}$, where $char({\mathbb{F}}_q)=3,5$ and $a,b,c\in {\mathbb{F}}_q^{?}$ and proposed some new classes of permutation quadrinomials of ${\mathbb{F}}_{q^2}$.In particular, in this paper we classify all permutation polynomials of ${\mathbb{F}}_{q^2}$ of the form $f(x)=x^3+a{x}^{q+2}+b{x}^{2q+1}+c{x}^{3q}$, where $a,b,c\in {\mathbb{F}}_q^{?}$, over all finite fields of odd characteristic and obtain several new classes of such permutation quadrinomials.
