Permutation polynomials have important applications in cryptography, coding theory, combinatorial designs, and other areas of mathematics and engineering. Finding new classes of permutation polynomials is therefore an interesting subject of study. Permutation trinomials attract people’s interest due to their simple algebraic forms and additional extraordinary properties. In this paper, based on a seventh-degree and a fifth-degree Dickson polynomial over the finite field [Formula: see text], two conjectures on permutation trinomials over [Formula: see text] presented recently by Li–Qu–Li–Fu are partially settled, where [Formula: see text] is a positive integer.

In order to extend the results of [Formula: see text] in [P. Das, The number of permutation polynomials of a given degree over a finite field, Finite Fields Appl. 8(4) (2002) 478–490], where [Formula: see text] is a prime, to arbitrary finite fields [Formula: see text], we find a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text], which has [Formula: see text] elements, in terms of the permanent of a matrix. We write down an expression for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text], using the permanent of a matrix whose entries are [Formula: see text]th roots of unity and using this we obtain a nontrivial bound for the number. Finally, we provide a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] less than [Formula: see text].

Several classes of permutation polynomials with given form over [Formula: see text] were recently proposed by Tu, Zeng, Li and Helleseth. In this paper, continuing their work, we present more permutation polynomials of the form [Formula: see text] over the finite field [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a linearized polynomial with coefficients in [Formula: see text].

AbstractFor a polynomial f(x) over a finite field Fq, denote the polynomial f(y)−f(x) by ϕf(x, y). The polynomial ϕf has frequently been used in questions on the values of f. The existence is proved here of a polynomial F over Fq of the form F = Lr, where L is an affine linearized polynomial over Fq, such that f = g(F) for some polynomial g and the part of ϕf which splits completely into linear factors over the algebraic closure of Fq is exactly φF. This illuminates an aspect of work of D. R. Hayes and Daqing Wan on the existence of permutation polynomials of even degree. Related results on value sets, including the exhibition of a class of permutation polynomials, are also mentioned.

AbstractWe determine several variants of the classical interpolation formula for finite fields which produce polynomials that induce a desirable mapping on the nonspecified elements, and without increasing the number of terms in the formula. As a corollary, we classify those permutation polynomials over a finite field which are their own compositional inverse, extending work of C. Wells.

We examine the permutation properties of the polynomials of the type hk, r, s(x) = xr (1 + xs + … + xsk) over the finite field , of characteristic p. We give sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of k and r for hk, r, l(x) to be a permutation polynomial over , for q = p or p2. We also prove that if hk, r, s(x) is a permutation polynomial over , then (k + 1)s = ±1.

A conjecture of Carlitz on permutation polynomials is as follow: Given an even positive integer n, there is a constant Cn, such that if Fq is a finite field of odd order q with q > Cn, then there are no permutation polynomials of degree n over Fq. The conjecture is a well-known problem in this area. It is easily proved if n is a power of 2. The only other cases in which solutions have been published are n = 6 (Dickson [5]) and n = 10 (Hayes [7]); see Lidl [11], Lausch and Nobauer [9], and Lidl and Niederreiter [10] for remarks on this problem. In this paper, we prove that the Carlitz conjecture is true if n = 12 or n = 14, and give an equivalent version of the conjecture in terms of exceptional polynomials.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of the form xr(1 + xv + x2v + ⋯ + xkv)t to permute the elements of the finite field 𝔽q. Our results yield especially simple criteria in case (q - 1)/ gcd (q - 1, v) is a small prime.
