Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the polynomial ring over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. A polynomial in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ is called $m$-smooth (or $m$-friable) if all its irreducible factors are of degree at most $m$. In this…
In this paper we study the distribution of the size of the value set for a random polynomial with degree at most $q-1$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We obtain the exact probability distribution and show that the number of missing…

Motivated by many recent constructions of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$, we study permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ in terms of their coefficients. Based on the multivariate method and resultant elimination,…

We discuss the inequalities for $q$-integrals because of the fact that the inequalities can be very useful in the future mathematical research. Since $q$-integral of a function over an interval $[a,b]$ is defined by the difference of two…
There are several questions one may ask about polynomials $q_m(x)=q_m(x;t)=\sum_{n=0}^mt^mp_n(x)$ attached to a family of orthogonal polynomials $\{p_n(x)\}_{n\ge0}$. In this note we draw attention to the naturalness of this partial-sum…
