AbstractWe extend to the setting of polynomials over a finite field certain estimates for short Kloosterman sums originally due to Karatsuba. Our estimates are then used to establish some uniformity of distribution results in the ring [x]/M(x) for collections of polynomials either of the form f−1g−1 or of the form f−1g−1 + afg, where f and g are polynomials coprime to M and of very small degree relative to M, and a is an arbitrary polynomial. We also give estimates for short Kloosterman sums where the summation runs over products of two irreducible polynomials of small degree. It is likely that this result can be used to give an improvement of the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem for polynomials over finite fields.

We consider non-zero polynomials f(x1, …, xk) in k variables x1, …, xk with coefficients in the finite field GF[q] (q = pn for some prime p and positive integer n). We assume that the polynomials have been normalised by selecting one polynomial from each equivalence class with respect to multiplication by non-zero elements of GF[q]. By the degree of a polynomial f(x1, …, xk) will be understood the ordered set (m1, …, mk), where mi is the degree of f(x1 ,…, xk) in x1(i = 1, 2, …, K). The degree (m,…, mk) of a polynomial will be called totally positive if mi>0, i = 1, 2, …, k.

We use Eisenstein's irreducibility criterion to prove that there exists an absolutely irreducible polynomialP(X,Y)∈GF(q)[X,Y]with coefficients in the finite fieldGF(q)withqelements, with prescribed level curvesXc:={(x,y)∈GF(q)2|P(x,y)=c}.

A self-contained elementary account is given of the theorem of S. Agou that classifies all composite irreducible polynomials of the form over a finite field of characteristic p. Written to appeal to a wide readership, it is intended to complement the original rather technical proof and other contributions by the author and by Moreno.

Automata, Logic and Semantics International audience If L is a language, the automaticity function A_L(n) (resp. N_L(n)) of L counts the number of states of a smallest deterministic (resp. non-deterministic) finite automaton that accepts a language that agrees with L on all inputs of length at most n. We provide bounds for the automaticity of the language of primitive words and the language of unbordered words over a k-letter alphabet. We also give a bound for the automaticity of the language of base-b representations of the irreducible polynomials over a finite field. This latter result is analogous to a result of Shallit concerning the base-k representations of the set of prime numbers.

In this paper, we discuss the relationship between the generation polynomial of a linear sequence and its decimation sequence over the finite field 𝔽2. Then we propose an upper bound of the number of terms in the generation polynomial of a decimation sequence of a linear sequence whose generation polynomial is trinomial. Finally, we suggest a method to calculate the terms of a decimation polynomial and their number directly, which can be used in the construction of irreducible polynomials with a controlled number of terms, when the source trinomial and the decimation distance satisfy a certain condition.
