Given any fixed integer $q\ge 2$, a $q$-monomial is of the format $\displaystyle x^{s_1}_{i_1}x^{s_2}_{i_2}...x_{i_t}^{s_t}$ such that $1\le s_j \le q-1$, $1\le j \le t$. $q$-monomials are natural generalizations of multilinear monomials.…
Let $F$ be any field containing the finite field of order $q$. A $q$-polynomial $L$ over $F$ is an element of the polynomial ring $F[x]$ with the property that all powers of $x$ that appear in $L$ with nonzero coefficient have exponent a…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power and write \[ \theta_q := \frac{\phi(q-1)}{q-1}. \] If $\theta_q < \tfrac{1}{3}$, or if $\theta_q = \tfrac{1}{3}$ and $q \notin \{7,13,19,25,37\}$, then the finite field $\F$ contains a pair of consecutive…
In this paper, we get several new results on permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, by using the linear translator, we construct permutation polynomials of the forms $L(x)+\sum_{j=1}^k \gamma_jh_j(f_j(x))$ and…
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…
Let $q = p^s$ be a power of a prime number $p$ and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we obtain the explicit factorization of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{2^nr}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where both $r…
We study degree preserving maps over the set of irreducible polynomials over a finite field. In particular, we show that every permutation of the set of irreducible polynomials of degree $k$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is induced by an action from…
In this paper, we construct some new classes of complete permutation monomials with exponent $d=\frac{q^n-1}{q-1}$ using AGW criterion (a special case). This proves two recent conjectures in [Wuetal2] and extends some of these recent…
An integer-valued multiplicative function $f$ is said to be polynomially-defined if there is a nonconstant separable polynomial $F(T)\in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ with $f(p)=F(p)$ for all primes $p$. We study the distribution in coprime residue…
Let $\alpha:\mathbb{F}_q\to\mathbb{F}_q$ be a permutation and $\Psi(\alpha)$ be the number of collinear triples in the graph of $\alpha$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ denotes a finite field of $q$ elements. When $q$ is odd Cooper and Solymosi once…
We prove a function-field analogue of Bourgain's $L^2$ pointwise ergodic theorem. Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q[t][u]$ be the…
Let $\ell$ be an odd prime, $q$ an odd prime power such that $q \not\equiv 0 \pmod \ell$, and $m$ the order of $q$ in $\F_\ell^\times$. We propose an explicit $L$-polynomial of hyperelliptic function field $K:=\F_q(T,…
In this paper, we present the compositional inverses of several classes permutation polynomials of the form $\sum_{i=1}^kb_i\left({\rm Tr}_m^{mn}(x)^{t_i}+\delta\right)^{s_i}+f_1(x)$, where $1\leq i \leq k,$ $s_i$ are positive integers,…
The use of permutation polynomials has appeared, along to their compositional inverses, as a good choice in the implementation of cryptographic systems. Hence, there has been a demand for constructions of these polynomials which…
We start with a (q,t)-generalization of a binomial coefficient. It can be viewed as a polynomial in t that depends upon an integer q, with combinatorial interpretations when q is a positive integer, and algebraic interpretations when q is…
Though it is well known that the roots of any affine polynomial over a finite field can be computed by a system of linear equations by using a normal base of the field, such solving approach appears to be difficult to apply when the field…

The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…
We classify rooted trees which have strictly unimodal q-polynomials (plucking polynomial). We also give criteria for a trapezoidal shape of a plucking polynomial. We generalize results of Pak and Panova on strict unimodality of q-binomial…
