In this work we present explicit classes of maximal and minimal Artin-Schreier type curves over finite fields having odd characteristics. Our results include the proof of Conjecture 5.9 given in [1] as a very special ...

Let chi be a smooth, geometrically irreducible and projective curve over a finite field F-q of odd characteristic. The L-polynomial L-chi(t) of chi determines the number of rational points of chi not only over F-q but also ...

Let q be a positive power of a prime number. For arbitrary positive integers h, n, m with n dividing m and arbitrary gamma, alpha is an element of F-qm with gamma not equal 0 the number of F-qm - rational points of the ...
