✦ Synopsis
Let N q be the number of solutions of the equation
over the finite field F q = F p s . L. Carlitz found formulas for N q for n = 3 and for n = 4 and q ≡ 3 (mod 4). He also expressed N q for n = 4 and q ≡ 1 (mod 4) in terms of Jacobsthal sums. In an earlier paper, we found formulas for N q when d = gcd(n -2, (q -1)/2) = 1 or 2. In this paper, we find formulas for N q when d = 4 and p ≡ 7 (mod 8); and when there exists an l such that p l ≡ -1 (mod 2d).
