The authors consider the similar problem of representing the elements of \\(\\mathbb{F}_q\\) as the sums of squares or cubes of polynomials of one variable over \\(\\mathbb{F}_q\\) when at least one of the polynomials is nonconstant.NEWLINENEWLINEIt is shown that for any \\(q\\) all elements of the finite field \\(\\mathbb{F}_q\\) can be written as the sum of squares of at least three elements from \\(\\mathbb{F}_q[t]\\). Also partial results are given for the representation as the sum of cubes of polynomials for the characteristic 2 case."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-06-12T07:10:32Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
