Abstract
A general construction of APN polynomial functions of the form \(c_{30}x^3+c_{03}x^{3q}+\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^2\sum \nolimits _{j=0}^2c_{ij}x^{i+qj}\) over a finite field \(\mathbb {F}_{q^2}\) of odd characteristic is proposed, and some variants of this construction are also presented. As a consequence, new APN polynomial functions such as ones over \(\mathbb {F}_{3^{2m}}\) and \(\mathbb {F}_{11^2}\) which are CCZ-inequivalent to known APN functions are obtained.
