Primitive Roots and Linearized Polynomials

Let f(x) = sum from t=0 to n α_ix~i∈GF(p)x],we associate it with a ploynomial f~*(x)=sum from i=0 to n α_ix~(p~i),f(x) and f~*(x)are called p-associates of each other. f~*(x) is called a p-ploynomial,customary to speak of linearized polynomial. Let f(x)=x~m- 1/g(x), m = m_1~r, q = p~m, g(x)∈GF(p)x],r be the order of g(x). Cohen and the author observed that if m_1≥2, there alwaysexsists a primitive roots ζ∈GF(q) suck that f~*(ζ) = f~*(c), here f~*(c)≠0. In fact
