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.

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].

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.

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.

We give an algorithmic generalisation of Dickson’s method of classifying permutation polynomials (PPs) of a given degree $d$ over finite fields. Dickson’s idea is to formulate from Hermite’s criterion several polynomial equations satisfied by the coefficients of an arbitrary PP of degree $d$. Previous classifications of PPs of degree at most 6 were essentially deduced from manual analysis of these polynomial equations, but this approach is no longer viable for $d>6$. Our idea is to calculate some radicals of ideals generated by the polynomials, implemented by a computer algebra system. Our algorithms running in SageMath 8.6 on a personal computer work very fast to determine all PPs of degree 8 over an arbitrary finite field of odd order $q>8$. Such PPs exist if and only if $q\in \{11,13,19,23,27,29,31\}$ and are explicitly listed in normalised form.

AbstractDickson polynomials over finite fields are familiar examples of permutation polynomials, i.e. of polynomials for which the corresponding polynomial mapping is a permutation of the finite field. We prove that a Dickson polynomial can be a complete mapping polynomial only in some special cases. Complete mapping polynomials are of interest in combinatorics and are defined as polynomials f(x) over a finite field for which both f(x) and f(x) + x are permutation polynomials. Our result also verifies a special case of a conjecture of Chowla and Zassenhaus on permutation polynomials.

A polynomialfover a finite fieldFis called a permutation polynomial if the mappingF→Fdefined byfis one-to-one. In this paper we consider the problem of characterizing permutation polynomials; that is, we seek conditions on the coefficients of a polynomial which are necessary and sufficient for it to represent a permutation. We also give some results bearing on a conjecture of Carlitz which says essentially that for any even integerm, the cardinality of finite fields admitting permutation polynomials of degreemis bounded.

A new class of bilinear permutation polynomials was recently identified. In this note we determine the class of permutation polynomials which represents the functional inverse of the bilinear class.

Let F q denote the finite field with q elements. Permutation polynomials over finite fields have important applications in many areas of science and engineering such as coding theory, cryptography, and combinatorial design. The study of permutation polynomials has a long history, and many results are obtained in recent years. In this paper, we obtain some further results about the permutation properties of permutation polynomials. Some new classes of permutation polynomials are constructed, and the necessities of some permutation polynomials are studied.
