Rédei-Permutationen auf Restklassenringen \({\mathbb{Z}}/(m)\). (Rédei- permutations over residue class rings \({\mathbb{Z}}/(m))\) (Q1106899): Difference between revisions

In this paper, Rédei-functions over residue class rings \({\mathbb{Z}}/(m)\) are studied. In contrast to earlier investigations, now the modulus m is an arbitrary natural number \(>1\), and the Rédei-functions are defined in dependence of a quadratic polynomial of the general form \(f(x)=x^ 2- \alpha x-\beta\), f(x) irreducible modulo all prime divisors \(p_ i\) of m. A necessary and sufficient condition is formulated that a given Rédei-function induces a permutation of \({\mathbb{Z}}/(m)\). Given a polynomial f(x), the group structure of the corresponding Rédei- permutations is determined.
