Various results on parity of the number of irreducible factors of given polynomials over finite fields have been obtained in the recent literature. Those are mainly based on Swan&...
Let p be prime and Zpn a degree n unramified extension of the ring of p-adic integers Zp. In this paper we give an overview of some very fast deterministic algorithms for common o...
Motivated by several recent results, we determine precisely when Fk(Xd, a) − Fk(0, a) is a Dembowski-Ostrom polynomial, where Fk(X, a) is a Dickson polynomial of the first or se...
Let Fq be a finite field with q elements and p ∈ Fq[X, Y ]. In this paper we study properties of additive functions with respect to number systems which are defined in the rin...
We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact for...
