Abstract
Let be an -algebra and which defines a map by evaluation, called a polynomial map with constant. We consider , the algebra of matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic , and polynomial maps given by , where . For , the images of such a map is competely determined in an earlier work (Panja, S.; Saini, P.; Singh, A., Images of polynomial maps with constants, Mathematika 71 (2025), no. 3, Paper No. e70031). In this article, by assuming one of the coefficients, say , is invertible, we relate the surjectivity of to the nullity of . When , we completely classify the surjectivity of by obtaining the necessary and sufficient condition in terms of , , and the nullity of .
