Generators and irreducible polynomials over finite fields
نویسنده
چکیده
Weil’s character sum estimate is used to study the problem of constructing generators for the multiplicative group of a finite field. An application to the distribution of irreducible polynomials is given, which confirms an asymptotic version of a conjecture of Hansen-Mullen.

Generators of Finite Fields with Powers of Trace Zero and Cyclotomic Function Fields
Using the relation between the problem of counting irreducible polynomials over finite fields with some prescribed coefficients to the problem of counting rational points on curves over finite fields whose function fields are subfields of cyclotomic function fields, we count the number of generators of finite fields with powers of trace zero up to some point, answering a question of Z. Reichste...
متن کاملConstruction of Irreducible Polynomials over Finite Fields
In this paper we investigate some results on the construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields. Basic results on finite fields are introduced and proved. Several theorems proving irreducibility of certain polynomials over finite fields are presented and proved. Two theorems on the construction of special sequences of irreducible polynomials over finite fields are investigated in de...
متن کاملParity of the number of irreducible factors for composite polynomials
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’s theorem in which discriminants of polynomials over a finite field or the integral ring Z play an important role. In this paper we consider discriminants of the composition of some polynomials over finite fields. The ...
متن کاملSome Properties of Generalized Self-reciprocal Polynomials over Finite Fields
Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to aself reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider the properties for the divisibility of a-reciprocal polynomials, estimate the number of all nontrivial a-self reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials and characterize the parity of the number of irreducible f...
متن کاملStream Cipher Design based on Jumping Finite State Machines
This paper presents a new way of constructing binary cascade clock-controlled LFSR sequence generators as building blocks for stream ciphers. In these constructions the bottleneck of multiple clocking shift registers is removed, resulting in so called jump-controlled sequence generators, that operate in a single clock pulse and are most efficient to implement. The constructions make use of spec...
