Most integers are composite and most univariate polynomials over a finite field are reducible. The Prime Number Theorem and a classical result of Gau{\ss} count the remaining ones, approximately and exactly. For polynomials in two or more…
We suggest a construction of the minimal polynomial $m_{\beta^k}$ of $\beta^k\in \mathbb F_{q^n}$ over $\mathbb F_q$ from the minimal polynomial $f= m_\beta$ for all positive integers $k$ whose prime factors divide $q-1$. The computations…
In this work we continue to study the properties of polynomials of binomial type and their canonical continuations to the complex index by exploring the properties of transformation T:=1/dlog which acts on formal power series $f(x)$ of the…
Let $r\geq 3$ be any positive integer which is relatively prime to $p$ and $q^2\equiv 1 \pmod r$. Let $\tau_1, \tau_2$ be any permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2},$ $\sigma_M$ is an invertible linear map over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$…
Fourier sine transforms containing irrational integrands are presented. Explicit closed form expressions are shown to be related to Lommel functions and in special cases to the Fresnel integrals. Such integrals arise in the semi-classical…

Let GF(q), q=p^r, be a finite field with a primitive element g. In this paper we use exponential sums and Jacobi sums to compute the number of the irreducible polynomials of degree m over GF(q) with trace fixed and norm restricted to a…
Four recursive constructions of permutation polynomials over $\gf(q^2)$ with those over $\gf(q)$ are developed and applied to a few famous classes of permutation polynomials. They produce infinitely many new permutation polynomials over…
We show that all permutations in $S_n$ can be generated by affine unicritical polynomials. We use the $\operatorname{PGL}$ group structure to compute the cycle structure of permutations with low Carlitz rank. The tree structure of the group…
Given $d_1,\ldots,d_k$ in the field $F$, there is a weighted trace function $F^k\rightarrow F$ given by $tr(x_1,\ldots,x_k)=\sum d_ix_i$. We prove that $F^k$ satisfies trace identities of the forms $\alpha(d_1,\ldots,d_k) x^N=$ a linear…
Let $\mathbb F_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we use the relationship between suitable polynomials and number of rational points on algebraic curves to give the exact number of elements $a\in \mathbb F_q$ for…
For all finite fields of $q$ elements where $q\equiv1\pmod4$ we have constructed permutation polynomials which have order 2 as permutations, and have 3 terms, or 4 terms as polynomials. Explicit formulas for their coefficients are given in…
In this paper, we present several necessary conditions for the reversed Dickson polynomial $E_{n}(1, x)$ of the second kind to be a permutation of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. In particular, we give explicit evaluation of the sum $\sum_{a\in…

Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive group over $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_q$, the algebraically closure of $\mathbb{F}_q$ (the finite field with $q=p^e$ elements), with the standard Frobenius map $F$. Let ${\bf B}$ be an $F$-stable Borel…
In this work we establish some new interleavers based on permutation functions. The inverses of these interleavers are known over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. For the first time M\"{o}bius and R\'edei functions are used to give new…
In this article, we prove some factorization results for several classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield several classes of irreducible polynomials. Such classes of polynomials are devised by imposing…
Linear recursions of degree $k$ are determined by evaluating the sequence of Generalized Fibonacci Polynomials, $\{F_{k,n}(t_1,...,t_k)\}$ (isobaric reflects of the complete symmetric polynomials) at the integer vectors $(t_1,...,t_k)$. If…
