Let T n (x, a) Κ¦ GF(q)[x] be a Dickson polynomial over the finite field GF(q) of either the first kind or the second kind of degree n in the indeterminate x and with parameter a. We give a complete description of the factorization of T n (x, a) over GF(q).

We exhibit a deterministic algorithm for factoring polynomials in one variable over "nite "elds. It is e$cient only if a positive integer k is known for which I (p) is built up from small prime factors; here I denotes the kth cyclotomic polynomial, and p is the characteristic of the "eld. In the cas
This survey reviews several algorithms for the factorization of univariate polynomials over finite fields. We emphasize the main ideas of the methods and provide an up-to-date bibliography of the problem.
We describe an efficient new algorithm for factoring a polynomial Ξ¦(x) over a field k that is complete with respect to a discrete prime divisor. For every irreducible factor Ο(x) of Ξ¦(x) this algorithm returns an integral basis for k[x]/Ο(x)k[x] over k.
Generalizing the norm and trace mappings for % O P /% O , we introduce an interesting class of polynomials over "nite "elds and study their properties. These polynomials are then used to construct curves over "nite "elds with many rational points.
