Uq-sharp subsets of a finite field

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Let f ∈ Fq[cursive Greek chi] where Fq is a finite field of characteristic p. Wan et al discovered a lower bound for the value set of f in terms of an invariant uq(f) associated to the polynomial f. We define a notion of uq-sharp subsets of Fq and discuss related problems. We show how the notion of uq-sharp sets may be used to give yet another proof of the classical Cauchy-Davenport theorem.
