Dickson Polynomial Discriminators Original Research Article

For an integerathe integral Dickson polynomial of degreejgreater-or-equal, slanted1 is defined by[formula]We consider the Dickson discriminator problem, that is we study the problem of finding for all integersaand all natural numbersjandn, the smallest positive integerkfor which the integersgj(1, a), gj(2, a), …, gj(n, a) are distinct modulok.
