Prof Gary Mullins - Some Basic Properties of Permutation Polynomials over Finite Fields

Date : 3rd Feb 2011, 2 -3 pm

Location: UCD CASL Seminar Room

Abstract

In this talk we will focus our discussion on permutation polynomials over

finite fields, i.e., on polynomials whose sets of distinct values are the entire field. We

will also discuss some results concerning the cardinalities of the value sets of some

specific polynomials. In particular, we will discuss some results concerning Dickson

polynomials and reversed Dickson polynomials over finite fields. We will also discuss

some connections to topics like APN functions.
