When Is the Number of True Different Permutation Polynomials Equal to 0?

Abstract

In this paper, we have obtained the prime factorization form of positive integers N for which the number of true different fourth- and fifth-degree permutation polynomials (PPs) modulo N is equal to zero. We have also obtained the prime factorization form of N so that the number of any degree PPs nonreducible at lower degree PPs, fulfilling Zhao and Fan (ZF) sufficient conditions, is equal to zero. Some conclusions are drawn comparing all fourth- and fifth-degree permutation polynomials with those fulfilling ZF sufficient conditions.
