Abstract
Let be a finite field of characteristic . We study a certain class of functions that agree with an -affine function on each coset of a given additive subgroup of - we call them -coset-wise -affine functions of . We show that these functions form a permutation group on with the structure of an imprimitive wreath product and characterize which of them are complete mappings of . As a consequence, we are able to provide various new examples of cycle types of complete mappings of , including that has a complete mapping moving all elements of in one cycle if .
