On inverse of permutation polynomials of small degree over finite fields, II

Abstract

We investigate the permutation property of polynomials of the form $x^{r}(x^{s} -a)^{t}$, and give the expressions of their inverses. In particular, explicit expressions of inverses of permutation polynomials $x(x^3 -a)^2$ and $x(x^2 -a)^3$ on $\mathbb{F}_{7^n}$ are presented. Then, using some known results, we obtain the inverses of all permutation polynomials of degree $6, 7, 8$ over finite fields.
