摘要:
Two rational functions f, g is an element of F-q(X) are said to be equivalent if there exist phi, psi is an element of F-q(X) of degree 1 such that g = phi degrees f degrees psi. We give an explicit formula for the number of equivalence classes of rational functions of a given degree in F-q(X). This result should provide guidance for the current and future work on classifications of low degree rational functions over finite fields. We also determine the number of equivalence classes of polynomials of a given degree in F-q[X].
