Abstract

Any permutation of a finite field F"q can be represented by a polynomial P"n(x)=(...+((a"0x+a"1)^q^-^2+a"2)^q^-^2+...+a"n)^q^-^2+a"n"+"1, for some n=0. P"0 is linear and the cycle structure of P"1 is known. In this work we present the cycle structure of the polynomials P"2(x) and P"3(x) completely and give methods for constructing P"n(x) with full cycle, for arbitrary n=1.
