摘要
We study the number of non-isomorphic functional graphs of affine-linear transformations from (F-q)(n) to itself, and we prove upper and lower bounds on this quantity as n -> infinity. As a corollary to our result, we prove bounds on the number of conjugacy classes in the symmetric group S-qn that intersect AGL(n)(q). (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
