Summary :

A self-complementary basis of a finite field corresponds to the orthonormal basis of a vector metric space. Seroussi and Lempel showed that a finite field GF (qn) has a self-complementary basis over GF (q) if and only if either q is even or both q and n are odd. In this paper, firstly we show that by using the complementary basis of a polynomial basis we can write a self-complementary basis explicitly. Since a polynomial basis and a normal basis are the most popular bases in finite fields, in this paper we consider whether a polynomial basis or a normal basis can be self-complementary. Secondly we show that any polynomial basis can not be self-complementary. Thirdly we tabulate the numbers of all the different self-complementary normal bases of GF (qn) over GF (q) for various q and n. From this table we present a conjecture concerning the existence of nonexistence of self-complementary normal bases.
