I read the wikipedia article on Linearized polynomials.



But I'm not sure the quite use-case of it.



Can anyone elaborate on it?

  • @Taroccoesbrocco what's linearized polynomial for? For example, when do we use that polynomial? Cryptography? Error Correcting? I dont know. I just want to know the application of it.

    I have used the concept in 7 old answers. That may be a start? Anyway, there is a section of their theory in Lidl & Niederreiter. D. Goss's book Arithmetic on Function Fields has quite a bit more, but may run a bit deep (depending on your background). I first encountered when working with character sums related to quadratic forms (or, polynomials in characteristic two such that all the exponents has binary weight two).
