The number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over Fq with given trace and constant terms
Behzad Omidi Koma

We improve the existing bounds for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over Fq with given trace and any arbitrary constant term. When n is a multiple of q–1, we give a simple and precise formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over Fq with given primitive constant term.
