Congruence preserving functions in the residue class rings of polynomials over finite fields

Number Theory 2019-10-22 v2

Abstract

In this paper, as an analogue of the integer case, we define congruence preserving functions over the residue class rings of polynomials over finite fields. We establish a counting formula for such congruence preserving functions, determine a necessary and sufficient condition under which all congruence preserving functions are also polynomial functions, and characterize such functions.
