Abstract

For any odd prime p≥5, some optimal p-ary cyclic codes with parameters [p m−1,p m−2m−2,4] are presented by using perfect nonlinear monomials and the inverse function over \(\mathbb {F}_{p^{m}}\). In addition, almost perfect nonlinear monomials, and other monomials over \(\mathbb {F}_{5^{m}}\) are used to construct optimal quinary cyclic codes with parameters [5m−1,5m−2m−2,4].
