Five Constructions of Permutation Polynomials over $gf(q^2)$

Four recursive constructions of permutation polynomials over $gf(q^2)$ with those over $gf(q)$ are developed and applied to a few famous classes of permutation polynomials. They produce infinitely many new permutation polynomials over $gf(q^{2^ell})$ for any positive integer $ell$ with any given permutation polynomial over $gf(q)$. A generic construction of permutation polynomials over $gf(2^{2m})$ with o-polynomials over $gf(2^m)$ is also presented, and a number of new classes of permutation polynomials over $gf(2^{2m})$ are obtained.
