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 ...
This note is a continuation of a paper by the same authors that appeared in 2002 in the same journal. First we extend the method of the previous paper proving an asymptotic formul...
Abstract. Let Fq be a finite field with q elements. We produce an (effective) elimination of quantifiers for the structure of the set of polynomials, Fq[t], of one variable, in...
