Waring's problem for polynomial biquadrates over a finite field of odd characteristic (Q2479909): Difference between revisions

Let \(k\) be a finite field of odd characteristic. If the order of \(k\) is not \(3,9,5,13,17,25,\) or \(29,\) then every polynomial in \(k[t]\) is a strict sum of 11 biquadrates.
