Local permutation polynomials and their companions

Gutierrez and Urroz (2023) have proposed a family of local permutation polynomials over finite fields of arbitrary characteristic based on a class of symmetric subgroups without fixed points called e-Klenian groups. The polynomials within this family are referred to as e-Klenian polynomials. Furthermore, they have shown the existence of companions for the e-Klenian polynomials when the characteristic of the finite field is odd. Here, we construct three new families of local permutation polynomials over finite fields of even characteristic, and derive a necessary and sufficient condition for each of these families to achieve the maximum possible degree. We also consider the problem of the existence of companions for the e-Klenian polynomials over finite fields of even characteristic. More precisely, we prove that over finite fields of even characteristic, the 0-Klenian polynomials do not have any companions. However, for $e\ge 1$, we explicitly provide a companion for the e-Klenian polynomials. Moreover, we provide a companion for each of the new families of local permutation polynomials that we introduce.
