So Dickson worked on this problem in 1896 ! I'll have to track down his work. Thanks very much, Victor -- I thought there might be some literature on this problem, but I didn't know what to search for. I guessed correctly that other people also called them "permutation polynomials". At 06:46 PM 3/19/2016, Victor Miller wrote:
My former colleague, Mike Zieve (now a professor at MIchigan) has written a number of papers about permutation polynomials, the latest is http://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.1325.pdf . It gives a lot of references to known results and to his previous work.
