Polynomial functions on rings of dual numbers over residue class rings of the integers. (English) Zbl 1484.11213

Summary: The ring of dual numbers over a ring \(R\) is \(R[\alpha]=R[x]/(x^2)\), where \(\alpha\) denotes \(x+(x^2)\). For any finite commutative ring \(R\), we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on \(R[\alpha]\) in terms of the functions induced by their coordinate polynomials \((f_1, f_2 \in R[x]\), where \(f=f_1+\alpha f_2)\) and their formal derivatives on \(R\).
We derive explicit formulas for the number of polynomial functions and the number of polynomial permutations on \(\mathbb{Z}_{p^n}[\alpha]\) for \(n\leq p(p\) prime).
