Abstract
Motivated by recent results on the constructions of permutation polynomials with few terms over the finite field \({\mathbb F}_{2^n}\), where n is a positive even integer, we focus on the construction of permutation trinomials over \({\mathbb F}_{2^n}\) from Niho exponents. As a consequence, several new classes of permutation trinomials over \({\mathbb F}_{2^n}\) are constructed from Niho exponents based on some subtle manipulation of solving equations with low degrees over finite fields.
