The paper studies constructions of irreducible polynomials over finite fields using polynomial composition method.

The Fibonacci polynomials are defined recursively as $f_{n}(x)=xf_{n-1}(x)+f_{n-2}(x)$, where $f_0(x) = 0$ and $f_1(x)= 1$. We generalize these polynomials to an arbitrary number of variables with the $r$-Fibonacci polynomial. We extend…

Building upon the work of A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017), we prove that for a prime power $q \geq 7$, every residue class modulo an irreducible polynomial $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[X]$ has a non-constant, square-free representative which has…

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…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $f \in R[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ a multivariate polynomial, and $G$ a finite subgroup of the group of units of $R$ satisfying a certain constraint, which always holds if $R$ is a field. Then, we evaluate $\sum…

For a field $K$, and a root $\alpha$ of an irreducible polynomial over $K$ (in some algebraic closure) the number of roots of $f(x)$ lying in $K(\alpha)$ is studied here. Given such an $f(x)$ of degree $n$ for which $r$ of the roots are i n…

Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. Let $\phi(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial which is irreducible modulo all primes less than or equal to $n$. Let $a_0(x), a_1(x), \dots, a_{n-1}(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be…

Let $f$ be an $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear function over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. If the $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U= \{ (x^{q^t}, f(x)) : x\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n} \}$ defines a maximum scattered linear set, then we call $f$ a scattered polynomial of index…

Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…

Under the assumption that the quantum parameter $q$ is an $l$-th primitive root of unity with $l$ odd in a field $F$ of characteristic 0 and $m+n\geq r$, we obtained a complete classification of irreducible modules of the $q$-Schur…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

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…

We study the number of prime polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ in which the $i^{th}$ coefficient is either preassigned to be $a_i \in \mathbb{F}_q$ or outside a small set $S_i \subset \mathbb{F}_q$. This serves as a function…

The Schinzel hypothesis essentially claims that finitely many irreducible polynomials in one variable over Z simultaneously assume infinitely many prime values unless there is an obvious reason why this is impossible. We prove that under a…

In this article we compute the $q$th power values of the quadratic polynomials $f$ with negative squarefree discriminant such that $q$ is coprime to the class number of the splitting field of $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The theory of unique…

We provide some statistics about an irreducibility/reducibility test for multivariate polynomials over finite fields based on counting points. The test works best for polynomials in a large number of variables and can also be applied to…

Let $M_{d,n}(q)$ denote the number of monic irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_n]$ of degree $d$. We show that for a fixed degree $d$, the sequence $M_{d,n}(q)$ converges $q$-adically to an explicitly determined…

Let $F$ be a field of prime characteristic $p$ containing $F_{p^n}$ as a subfield. We refer to $q(X)=X^{p^n}-X-a\in F[X]$ as a generalized Artin-Schreier polynomial. Suppose that $q(X)$ is irreducible and let $C_{q(X)}$ be the companion…

A polynomial is called self-reciprocal (or palindromic) if the sequence of its coefficients is palindromic. In this paper we enumerate self-reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials over a finite field with prescribed leading coefficients.…

In [arXiv 0811.3913] the authors introduced the notion of quasi-polynomial function as being a mapping f: X^n -> X defined and valued on a bounded chain X and which can be factorized as f(x_1,...,x_n)=p(phi(x_1),...,phi(x_n)), where p is a…
