Unitary Perfect Polynomials Over GF(q)
Abstract
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: For monic polynomials A(x), B(x) e GF[q,x], call B(x) a unitary divisor of A(x) provided (B(x),A(x)/B(x)) = 1 . The polynomial A(x) is called unitary perfect over GF(q) if and only if the sum [see pdf for notation] of the distinct unitary divisors of A(x) equals A(x). Principal results characterize all unitary perfect polynomials over GF(p) which split in GF[p,x].
