Let $F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and $F_q[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over $F_q$. In this paper we consider permutation polynomials and local permutation polynomials over $F_q[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$,…

We consider rational functions of the form $V(x)/U(x)$, where both $V(x)$ and $U(x)$ are polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Polynomials that permute the elements of a field, called {\it permutation polynomials ($PPs$)}, have…

In this paper, we connect two types of representations of a permutation $\sigma$ of the finite field $\F_q$. One type is algebraic, in which the permutation is represented as the composition of degree-one polynomials and $k$ copies of…

For q > 2, Carlitz proved that the group of permutation polynomials (PPs) over F_q is generated by linear polynomials and x^{q-2}. Based on this result, this note points out a simple method for representing all PPs with full cycle over the…

Let $f=a{\tt x} +b{\tt x}^q+{\tt x}^{2q-1}\in\Bbb F_q[{\tt x}]$. We find explicit conditions on $a$ and $b$ that are necessary and sufficient for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$. This result allows us to solve a related…

The $k$th Dickson polynomial of the first kind, $D_k(x) \in {\mathbb Z}[x]$, is determined by the formula: $D_k(u+1/u) = u^k + 1/u^k$, where $k \ge 0$ and $u$ is an indeterminate. These polynomials are closely related to Chebyshev…

Let $f(X)=X(1+aX^{q(q-1)}+bX^{2(q-1)})\in\Bbb F_{q^2}[X]$, where $a,b\in\Bbb F_{q^2}^*$. In a series of recent papers by several authors, sufficient conditions on $a$ and $b$ were found for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial (PP) of $\Bbb…

An orthomorphism over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a permutation $\theta:\mathbb{F}_q\mapsto\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the map $x\mapsto\theta(x)-x$ is also a permutation of $\mathbb{F}_q$. The degree of an orthomorphism of $\mathbb{F}_q$,…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and let $n \geq 2$. For a polynomial $h(x) \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ of degree $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and a subset $W \subseteq [0,n] := \{0, 1, \ldots, n\}$, we…

We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…

Given a finite field $\F_q$ and $n\in \N^*$, one could try to compute all polynomial endomorphisms $\F_q^n\lp \F_q^n$ up to a certain degree with a specific property. We consider the case $n=3$. If the degree is low (like 2,3, or 4) and the…

This paper considers permutation polynomials over the finite field $F_{q^2}$ in even characteristic by utilizing low-degree permutation rational functions over $F_q$. As a result, we obtain two classes of permutation binomials and six…

Let $f=a\x+\x^{3q-2}\in\Bbb F_{q^2}[\x]$, where $a\in\Bbb F_{q^2}^*$. We prove that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if and only if one of the following occurs: (i) $q=2^e$, $e$ odd, and $a^{\frac{q+1}3}$ is a primitive…

Let $q$ be a prime power, $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field of order $q$ and $\mathbb F_q(x)$ be the field of rational functions over $\mathbb F_q$. In this paper we classify all rational functions $\varphi\in \mathbb F_q(x)$ of degree 3…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ its extension of degree $n$. The conjecture of Morgan and Mullen asserts the existence of primitive and completely normal elements (PCN…

Let $D$ denote the set of directions determined by the graph of a polynomial $f$ of $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, where $q$ is a power of the prime $p$. If $D$ is contained in a multiplicative subgroup $M$ of $\mathbb{F}_q^\times$, then by a result of…

We classify complete permutation polynomials of type $aX^{\frac{q^n-1}{q-1}+1}$ over the finite field with $q^n$ elements, for $n+1$ a prime and $n^4 < q$. For the case $n+1$ a power of the characteristic we study some known families. We…
