“…Let q be a prime power and F q be the finite field of order q. Writing permutation polynomial maps of F q (and their generalizations) is a matter of great interest in number theory and applied areas (see for example [5,6,8,12,13,15,17,20,21,23,24]). The classification of permutation polynomials of degree 3 has been longly known (see for example [16, Table 7.1]); the vast literature on the topic contains sparse results that, put together, can be used to describe exceptional functions of certain degrees, for example in terms of Rédei functions.…”
