Abstract

We prove a new bound for multiplicative character sums of nonlinear recurring sequences with Rédei functions over a finite field of prime order. This result is motivated by earlier results on nonlinear recurring sequences and their application to the distribution of powers and primitive elements. The new bound is much stronger than the bound known for general nonlinear recurring sequences.
