Distribution of irreducible polynomials of small degrees over finite fields
D. Wan very recently proved an asymptotic version of a conjecture of Hansen and Mullen concerning the distribution of irreducible polynomials over finite fields. In this note we prove that the conjecture is true in general by using machine calculation to verify the open cases remaining after Wan’s work. For a prime power q let Fq denote the finite field of order q. Hansen and Mullen in [4, p. 6...
متن کاملIrreducible Polynomials over Finite Fields
As we will see, modular arithmetic aids in testing the irreducibility of polynomials and even in completely factoring polynomials in Z[x]. If we expect a polynomial f(x) is irreducible, for example, it is not unreasonable to try to find a prime p such that f(x) is irreducible modulo p. If we can find such a prime p and p does not divide the leading coefficient of f(x), then f(x) is irreducible ...
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 کاملConstructing irreducible polynomials over finite fields
We describe a new method for constructing irreducible polynomials modulo a prime number p. The method mainly relies on Chebotarev’s density theorem.
متن کاملGenerators and irreducible polynomials over finite fields
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.
