On derivatives of planar mappings and their connections to complete mappings
Given are necessary conditions for a permutation polynomial to be the derivative of a planar mapping. These conditions are not sufficient and there might exist permutation polynomials which are not derivatives of some planar mapping satisfying these conditions. For the first time we show that there is a close connection between two seemingly unrelated structures, namely planar and complete mappings. It is shown that any planar mapping induces a sequence of complete mappings having some additional interesting properties. Furthermore, a class of almost planar mappings over extension fields is introduced having the property that its derivatives are permutations in most of the cases. This class of functions then induces many infinite classes of complete mappings (permutations) as well

On the carlitz rank of permutation polynomials over finite fields:recent developments
The Carlitz rank of a permutation polynomial over a finite field Fq is a simple concept that was introduced in the last decade. In this survey article, we present various interesting results obtained by the use of this notion in the last few years. We emphasize the recent work of the authors on the permutation behavior of polynomials f + g, where f is a permutation over Fq of a given Carlitz rank, and g∈Fq[x] is of prescribed degree. The relation of this problem to the well-known Chowla–Zassenhaus conjecture is described. We also present some initial observations on the iterations of a permutation polynomial f∈Fq[x] and hence on the order of f as an element of the symmetric group S q
