Abstract

Let m1 and m2 be two distinct positive integers with d= gcd (m1, m2). Let F2m be the finite field with 2m elements, where m = m1m2/d. In this paper, we investigate the exponential sumsS(a,b)=∑x∈F2m∗(−1)Trm1(ax2m−12m1−1)+Trm2(bx2m−12m2−1), where a∈F2m1, b∈F2m2, and Trt denotes the trace function from F2t to F2. When d = 1, 2, 3, 4, we present the value distribution of the exponential sums S(a, b) explicitly. As an application, we construct three families of binary sequences with three-valued correlation.
